LONDON (Reuters) - How do you make an exhibition about a man who never existed?

The Museum of London show on Sherlock Holmes, which opens on Oct. 17 after two years of preparation, acknowledges the conundrum with its title, "The Man Who Never Lived and Will Never Die".

With its acclaimed shiraz and other experimental varietals, the Casale del Giglio estate near Rome is at the cutting edge of Italian winemaking.

An innovative, high-tech operation, the family-run property has more in common with the groundbreaking boutique wineries of the New World than traditional Italian estates.

But it has also become known as a window on to Old World viticulture following the discovery, beneath its fields, of important remains of an ancient town that had its own thriving wine trade.

Every summer, a section of the Casale del Giglio vineyard is given over to excavations by a team of Dutch archaeologists.

"In ten years of digging we have uncovered a street that was part of the pre-Roman town of Satricum," said University of Amsterdam researcher Marijke Gnade.

"Under the vines we have also found urns and ceramic wine goblets which show that this place had a wine culture in ancient times."

The researchers have dated the street to the sixth century B.C. They believe it was a "Via Sacra" or "holy way" leading to a famous local temple dedicated to Mater Matuta, the goddess of dawn for both Romans and pre-Romans.

Gnade was still a student when the project to uncover Satricum was first launched, 36 years ago. She has returned every summer since and is now in charge of the excavations with a laboratory located on the Casale del Giglio estate.

As well as authorising digging on land they could be using to produce grapes, the Santarelli family have helped to finance a project jointly organised by local authorities and the University of Amsterdam.
