This white wine takes its name from the ancient pre-Roman city of Satricum.

Traces of the earliest huts, which formed a village around a central place of worship on high ground near the river Astura, date from the IX century B.C. This hillside settlement, later to become the acropolis of the city, was the site of a temple dedicated to the goddess Mater Matuta.

Remains of her temple can still be seen today close to Casale del Giglio’s vineyards in the hamlet of Le Ferriere, near the town of Latina.
