Everything in Italy is tied to food, and alcohol especially; its purpose is to stimulate and to enhance.

This is what i’ve always seen and learned from my family, wine was always a presence at the table (Lunch included); a real event.

The Mercato Choice:

Mercato Italiano’s wine collection is based on m Veneto family contact, from Prosecco DOCG in the Colli Euganei, to price winner best Bardolino by Garda Lake, to the Valpolicella Classico with the grand Amarone della Valpolicella.
