1
Meregalli Giuseppe company, born in the far 1856, holds now a leading position in the

At present, the company is the headquarter of a largest European group – Gruppo Meregalli which core business and know-how have been diffused through their foreign distribution
subsidiaries in France and Swiss.
Meregalli Group exclusively represents Tenuta San Guido wines included SASSICAIA
on the Italian, French and Swiss markets and also in some other important European Countries
such as Greece and Cyprus. Moreover in other countries all over the world as Latvia, Republic of
Belarus, Moldavia, Azerbaijan, Kazakhstan, Armenia, Jordan, Turkey, Vietnam & Cambodia,
Philippines, Seychelles, Guatemala, Nicaragua.
Since the end of December 2008, Meregalli Group has become the 100% owner of the Tuscan
winery FERTUNA, a real “pearl” in the heart of Maremma, producing excellent wines.

Fertuna is located in the heart of Maremma Toscana. The land is quiet and peaceful, where the
uncontaminated nature rules. In this part of Tuscany the human touch has acted in accordance
with nature, drawing an amphitheatre of vineyards. This area was the cradle of Etruscan and then
Roman culture, with the presence of many necropolis; Golfo di Follonica, Castiglione della
Pescaia, Punta Ala till the Argentario complete the dream context.
The Maremma is an area not jet hardly exploited for wine production but step by step it shows all
its potential to bring to life high-quality wines; in fact in the last years has become a main place of
exploration for most important investments in the wine field.
This is the magnificent place where Fertuna rises, a brand new winery born in 1997, managed
counting on the oenological know-how of Mr Paolo Rivella, important wine-maker who inherited
the best knowledge of the modern oenology, not forgetting the precious lesson of the tradition
that his uncle has transmitted him. Paolo Rivella is in fact the nephew of the famous Cavaliere
Ezio Rivella the person that gave to Italian wines importance and International notoriety: at
present he’s the President of the Consorzio del Vino Brunello di Montalcino.
That’s why Fertuna in situated where there were any previous wine facilities; that place was
chosen based on the intuition that was the right one for building up in Maremma a new
challenge. Fertuna is an unusual version of an Italian wine cellar. No ostentation, but a real
tribute to terroir and to men’s devotion.

The medieval cross, emblem of the winery, was inspired by a symbol found in the ancient
S.Antimo abbey. Moreover is interesting the consonance with the word “fortune”, which
sounds like a good wish. Not forgetting the theme “fert”, coming from Latin “fertus”,
meaning fertile, tribute to the Maremma vivid terroir.
So a name, FERTUNA, evoking tradition, faith, hope and best auspices.
The global estate takes about 150 hectares.
> 50 are currently used for the production of different varieties of grape , subdivided in 21
specific parcels.
> The remaining surface, apart a vast area of 5,5 ha planted of olive trees, could be
potentially exploited to enlarged the production: the potential capacity is of about 600.000
bottles a year.
An hyper technological cellar, placed at the centre of vineyards, shows the potentiality of
the project of this estate. The wooden structure is the best example of modern technology
that doesn’t forget tradition, recalled in the barriquerie. Unique is the rustic housing part
surrounded by a 20.000 sqm park.
This big villa built in typical “maremmano” style, will be soon at disposal for welcoming
visitors also for long stays.

About
“Droppello represents the symbol of the always stronger Partnership between Marchese Nicolò
Incisa della Rocchetta and Fertuna. This wine was created from a completely renovate style, in
order to emphasize the aromas of Sangiovese grape, but “ vinified white”. Harvested from our latest
variety but in early-ripening, this wine opens with floral and delicate perfumes. The yellow straw
colour is shown in a facet of pink nuances, remanding to its soul of pure red grape. The palate is
fresh with good acidity and mineral hints with a clear and nice aftertaste. Delicate and gently
perfumed, Droppello is the best companion of an informal, friendly and sober evening”
Paolo Rivella, Fertuna’s Winemaker
