Description
Eutyches is the name of the Greek doctor who lived in Rimini in the 3rd century, whose home, rich in mosaics and fabulous professional instruments, can be seen in the archaeological complex known as the "Surgeon's Domus". From the "taberna medica" overlooking the port, Eutyches had a taste of the sea, the strong appeal of which can be seen in the magnificent images of fish on the polychrome glass found within its walls. In memory of this mythical figure and his undoubted link with the sea, we have decided to take his name, entrusting it to a wine particularly suited to fish-based meals.

Pairings
he rolling hills located to the south of the city, characterised by a marked winegrowing activity, ensured the high-quality, abun-dant wine production much extolled by the great Latin histori-ans from Cato to Varro, from Strabo to Pliny and Columella. From these lands, Friano – the Ferianus of antiquity– stands out with its sundrenched slopes facing the River Marano: the place thus conjures up the idea of feriaas that makes up the first half of its name and which means ‘holidays’ in Italian, or tra-ditionally the festival and holiday period. Thanks to the efficiency of the town harbour, wines from the areas near Rimini were exported in large quantities, especially to Rome, as the mosaics of Ostia, commissioned by the ship owners, still testify today.
And documents exist to prove that this trade continued up until the centuries of the late Roman Empire. This long-established tradition did not even stop during periods of crisis: in fact, local winemaking is documented as being wide-spread since the early Middle Ages, gradually developing and becoming more refined, and somehow surviving even the most difficult periods.
A tradition that lives on today in the magnifi-cent rows of Friano vines, where the merits of the vine-stock and the sensible techniques used combine with the richness of the soil and the beauty of the landscape. Read more
