The wine was exported on sailing ships charged with hundreds of barrels from Scoglitti, Vittoria trading port. Soon the wine conquered Italian, French, British and German markets. Chronicles of June 1885 report of the thriving business of exporting wine to Marseilles and of the 1500 farm carts that dayly transported barrels to the sailing ships moored in Scoglitti.
Traces of the wine business on the route between Catania and Kamarina (through Lentini, Caltagirone, Acate, Vittoria, and Comiso) are still evident. The route preserves millstones, warehouse, furnaces for the making of wine amphorae (especially in Caltagirone) and ended in Kamarina, which port was the natural commercial hub for the production in southern Sicily. From Kamarina the famous “Mesopotamium”, the wine produced between Ippari and Dirillo rivers, was exported. The rivers depicted on Kamarina coins were found in Pompei and Carthage archaeological sites, on amphorae bearing the inscription ME and MES, meaning “Mesopotamium”, the place of origin.
