About Tenuta Mercatili

Located in Gambassi Terme, Italy, Tenuta Mercatili is a cherished family-run winery that has been producing high-quality wines since 1951. Founded by Guerriero Mercatili, the estate is now managed by his grandson, Alessio, continuing a proud tradition that spans three generations. The winery is dedicated to crafting wines that reflect the unique character of the Chianti region.

The Terroir of Tenuta Mercatili

Situated in the heart of Tuscany's Chianti wine region, Tenuta Mercatili benefits from a rich terroir. The vineyards thrive on the hillsides of Gambassi Terme, where the soil is abundant in minerals and organic matter, enriched over time by volcanic ash from nearby Mount Amiata. This fertile ground, combined with a climate of hot summers and cold winters, creates ideal conditions for grape cultivation.

A Gem of Chianti

Tenuta Mercatili spans eight hectares of vineyards, featuring grape varieties such as Sangiovese, Trebbiano, Vermentino, and Malvasia. The estate is also home to 1,000 olive trees, enhancing its picturesque landscape. Known for its diverse offerings, including wines, oils, and Vinsanto, Tenuta Mercatili is often regarded as a gem of the Chianti area. The winery employs traditional winemaking techniques, including barrel aging for many red wines, which adds depth and complexity to their flavor profiles.

The property is located in the heart of Tuscany. In addition to excellent wine and olive oil 🔝🔝🔝... there is the possibility to arrange a guided tour of the vineyards and to eat 😀. The owners are very kind and polite. If you are nearby, I recommend you stop by.

Great wine tasting experience, but also very nice, soft grappa from grapes of the same Mercantili family. Strongly suggest the visit. And the estate (tenuta) ovetlooks the San Gimignano.

Our family stopped by this winery on a whim to see if they were doing any wine tastings without us having a reservation. (Which we knew was a lot to ask.) We were so well received by them at the farm and Alessandro, the owner, arranged for us to come and taste their amazing wines for half an hour. It was a lovely moment where he showed us his range with warmth and joy. Nice that Mercatili is one of three or four that produce vermouth in Tuscany. It was super good. This stop was the highlight of my trip to Tuscany.

What an amazing experience... we made tiramisu and pasta from scratch. Rafaela was such a fun person to cook with. Also, the wine and olive oil was great. I highly recommend this place. They truly make you feel like family here. You can also buy the wine and olive oil at the end of your experience.
