Fertuna

Fertuna is located in the south of Tuscany in the Maremma. The Fertuna winery is owned by wine merchant Giuseppe Meregalli from Monza. He made his money from the worldwide distribution of the wines of Sassicaia (Tenuta San Guido). The owner of San Guido, the Marquis Incisa della Rocchetta, even gave him a hand at the start and revealed some of his winemaker secrets. The Marquis now even signs for 2 wines of this domain, namely the red wine Pactio and the white wine Droppello. The company is under the expert leadership of Paolo Rivella, scion of another large winemaking family in Italy. His uncle is Enzio Rivella and was the founder of some large Tuscan domains such as Banfi and is still regarded as one of the leading figures in the Italian wine world. The 145 hecatre vineyard has a unique microclimate that, together with the attentive care of every step of the winemaking process, contributes to the production of quality wines.

The name Fertuna is a combination of the words fertility (Fertus) and happiness (fortuna). The domain is located on the Roman Via Aurelia Gavorrano and is between Grosseto and Folonica. In addition to the classic Sangiovese, international varieties such as Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon are also planted here. Noteworthy is the Droppello, a white wine made from the Sangiovese grape!
