Description

Excellent wine from the Bosco del Merlo reserves. From an indigenous vine that is the heritage of the land, biodiversity and history. The name of the vine refers to the characteristic colour of the base of the rachis (stalk) as the grapes ripen. The name recalls Giovanni Pascoli's poem 'Arano', contained in the collection of poems 'Myricae, L'ultima passeggiata' ('Myricae, The Last Walk').

  • Bottles produced: 920.000
  • Hectares: 100
The name “Bosco del Merlo” is derived from local topographical maps which refer to the oak forests that once covered the area. The vineyards of Bosco del Merlo are situated between the ancient Roman consular roads of Via Annia and Via Postumia, dating back to the early centuries after Christ.

The Bosco del Merlo estate winery started up in 1977 in Annone Veneto, founded by siblings Carlo, Lucia and Roberto Paladin. Thanks to a profitable collaboration with the Istituto Sperimentale per la Viticoltura di Conegliano, a careful and modern zoning technique was immediately implemented in order to get the best out of the terroir, working the vineyard piece by piece. In the nineties, in the small town of Lison di Portogruaro, the cradle of viticulture in this wine-making region, a further 50 hectares of land was acquired, which therefore doubled capacity, increasing it to around 100 hectares in total.

Over the course of the years Bosco del Merlo has benefited from the advice of famous oenologists and experts from the Faculties of Oenology and Agriculture in Padua and Milan, such as Franco Bernabei and Leonardo Valenti, in its quest to find the most forward-thinking solutions for achieving optimal quality with the lowest environmental impact.
