THE NATIVE GRAPES AND VINES BURIED UNDER THE ASH OF VESUVIUS By studing evidence archaeologists in Pompeii were able to replant, in their original plots. The key locus is the site traditionally identified as the Forum Boarium. Excavations have brought to light a wine press and a winery with ten large terracotta containers in the soil, for the making of wine. The technique of cultivation consisted in the so-called vitis compluviata, with poles planted in the soil and sustaining the vine, and created a pergola.
