Setiner
The Setiner (also: Setiner Wein or Setischer Wein ) was an ancient wine from the Roman Empire . It grew on the hills of the Latin city of Setia (today's Sezze ) above Forum Appii . According to Pliny the Elder , this tart wine was probably the favorite wine of Emperor Augustus and various of his successors. One reason for this was that the Setiner was beneficial for the digestion of difficult to digest food.
