Mariotti’s wines are named after local card games! Instead of charmat, he produces old-school bottle fermented (rifermentato in bottiglia) wines out native grapes, in this case: Trebbiano Romagnolo. It has a bitter vermouth-like spice to it with a less refined acidity but a more a savory complexity. By growing vines so close to the beach, you get a savory, even salty mouthfeel. They make me want to invite friends over to play cards. Kick off your sandals, light up the grill, and deal the cards. This is farmer-fizz from local varieties that’s unique, delicious, and without pretense.
