Life really is a beach for winemaker Mirco Mariotti, who farms old vines in Bosco Eliceo, located on the Romagna side of  Emilia-Romagna just 300 m from the Adriatic sea. This land is somewhat off the beaten path and laid back in a region known not only for its legendary food scene, but also for its rich tradition of sparkling wines. Locals hang out by the beach, eating grilled flat-bread sandwiches called piadina romagnola, and playing Sèt e Mèz, a card game similar to Blackjack, and the namesake of this charming dry rosé pet nat, made from 100% organically farmed Fortana. (It just so happens, that Bosco Eliceo is one of the premier locations in Italy for Fortana, and Mirco’s father founded a wine analysis and consultation laboratory that studied the unique properties and potential of wines produced on the local sandy soils.) Sèt e Mèz is refreshing and savory, with notes of black cherry and strawberry and a pleasingly bitter, vermouth-like spice. Kick off your sandals, light up the grill, and deal the cards. This is beach-farmer-fizz that’s as distinctive, delicious, and without pretense as its hometown.

Life really is a beach for winemaker Mirco Mariotti, who farms old vines in Bosco Eliceo, located on the Romagna side of  Emilia-Romagna just 300 m from the Adriatic sea. This land is somewhat off the beaten path and laid back in a region known not only for its legendary food scene but also for its rich tradition of sparkling wines. In fact, Mirco’s wines are named after the card games locals play while hanging out at the beach. However, the area, salty, sandy, windy, with alternating fog and sun makes for a dramatic place for vines to grow. Mirco is also an avid ’s vines are extremely old and ungrafted, producing fascinating wines from their own native rootstock. He farms organically, focusing on local varietals such as Fortana and producing still and sparkling wines using the ancestral method.
