Viticulture in the Castelli was born with land allocations to veterans of wars, starting with the battle of Lepanto through to the former combatants of the "Great War" 1915-1918.
Assignees started small vineyards used for their own consumption and more intensive production for the local market.
This was the beginning of what is now a grand tradition that has led to some fine wines such as the Frascati DOC produced in the area of Grottaferrata.
