This uncommon and unique Pét Nat Rosé is made from Fortana, a rare red grape indigenous to Emilia-Romagna. It's a high acid and savoury variety that has some vermouth-like spice and amaro-like bitterness. Needless to say, it makes brilliant rosé wines, full of flavour. Bright and fruit-forward with a playful nose of wild strawberry, raspberries, and tangy red plum, it's fresh and lightly saline. The Set-e-Mez is true farmer fizz; approachable, dangerously quaffable and full of quirky character, bound to spark interesting conversations.

Mirco Mariotti’s vineyards are located in the eastern Romagna part of Emilia-Romagna in Northern Italy, which is home to Lambrusco, real balsamic vinegar and so many gastronomic delights. It’s a laid back beach area with lots of local colour, where locals eat grilled flat-bread sandwiches called piadina Romagnola, and drink sweating bottles of frizzante vino made from local grapes while playing cards on the beach — a great pairing if we do say so ourselves. In fact, most of Mariotti’s wines are named after local card games! Instead of tank-fermented wines, Mariotti makes old-school bottle-fermented vino (aka Pétillant Natural) with the native grapes Trebbiano Romagnolo for the whites and the rare red grape, Fortana, for rosé. These wines hail from some of the most unique terroir out there, and more importantly it shines through in every bottle. Grown literally on the beach 300 meters from the Adriatic Sea where many of the vines are over 100 years old; the vineyard looks as gnarly and raw as you would expect from any living thing residing so close to the sea and it's weathering salty shore winds. Mariotti has taken the extremely traditional wines of his region and elevated them to be less rustic while still highly drinkable, full of charm and without pretence.
