Tenuta Fertuna

In the heart of the Tuscan Maremma, between rolling hills and the Tyrrhenian Sea, lies Tenuta Fertuna. Founded in 1997, the estate was born from the meeting between the vision of the Meregalli Group – a historic wine distribution family from Monza – and the expertise of Ezio Rivella. We are in Gavorrano, in the province of Grosseto, in an area where nature is not just a backdrop, but the true protagonist. Here, among chestnut woods and Mediterranean scrub, human intervention has been remarkably delicate, shaping an amphitheatre of vineyards that seems almost naturally formed. A land rich in history, where the Etruscans, centuries ago, had already recognised its agricultural potential. Tenuta Fertuna embraces this millenary heritage, carrying it into the future with a style that blends international precision with Tuscan warmth. 50 hectares of vineyards, set within a much larger estate, benefit from an ideal microclimate. The proximity to the sea ensures constant breezes that soften the summer heat, while significant day-to-night temperature variations allow the grapes to develop intense aromas and vibrant freshness. Among the rows, alongside Tuscany’s flagship grape Sangiovese, there is also room for major international varieties such as Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot. But Fertuna is not only about great reds. The estate has also shown innovation with surprisingly expressive white wines. Every production choice, from manual harvesting to the modern, energy-efficient winery, is guided by a deep respect for the environment.
