Wine at the Mercato

Wine is the heart of the Mercato. Our shelves hold more than a hundred Italian wines, from everyday Chianti and Montepulciano to Barolo and Brunello, chosen region by region and maker by maker, plus Italian grapes grown right here in Mendocino County.

Wine is sold in the store only, not online. Come in and we'll help you find a bottle for dinner tonight, a gift, or something to lay down.
