Bosco del Merlo
"The name 'Bosco del Merlo' comes from local topographical maps and is reminiscent of the oak forests that once covered the area.
Bosco del Merlo was founded in 1977 in Annone Veneto, when Valentino Paladin realized his dream of creating wines from sustainable practices that could best express the potential andidentity of the territory, sealing them in time.
The founder's innovative vision has been pursued for generations and today his wines are born in the territories of Eastern Veneto and Western Friuli.
Philosophy
Bosco del Merlo wines originate from the meeting of the lands of Western Friuli and Eastern Veneto, which have always been high wine vocation areas.
At the foothills of the Carnic Alps lies a large area created by the alluvium of the Meduna, Cellina and Tagliamento rivers: the Grave del Friuli. In our vineyards grow, in Sequals, the heart of these territories. In the heart of these territories, in Sequals, grow our vineyards.
In this area, the alluvial origin soil, was created by calcareous-dolomitic material wrested from the mountains by the waters, the soil, from coarse, gradually becomes finer and finer. The Grave(from the Latin gravis, 'heavy') are, in fact, the rounded pebbles formed by the millennial erosive action of river waters.
The skeletal, pebble-rich soil ('claps' in the local language) reflects the heat during the day, which allows the grapes to ripen well, and at night it returns the heat accumulated during the sunniest hours.
Our vines are sheltered by the mountains from the cold winds and enjoy the climate favourable to their cultivation thanks to the good thermal excursions that enrich the concentration of aromas in the grapes.
Among the stones of Sequals, wines with unmistakable characteristics are born: minerality, excellent aromatic expressions and elegance enclosed in a sip.
