Description
What kind of wine it is
This captivating rosé is made from Pinot Grigio grapes, revealing in the glass an intense coppery colour with brilliant salmon-pink hues. The bouquet offers clear notes of Williams pear, wild strawberries and delicate dried flowers. On the palate, it is dry, supported by excellent savouriness and a juicy, well-balanced flavour profile. The sip finishes with a long, persistent mineral finish, making it ideal to accompany aperitifs, seafood risottos or baked salmon.
Where it comes from
The identity of this wine by Bosco del Merlo is closely linked to the Delle Venezie denomination, a renowned area in North-Eastern Italy. The vines grow in a prestigious historical setting, located between the ancient Roman roads Annia and Postumia. Vineyard management involves careful zoning, favouring the sunniest and most ventilated plots. Harvesting is carried out in several stages, seeking the perfect moment to ensure the acidic and aromatic balance of the grapes.
How it is produced
The vinification of this vegan-certified wine begins with cryo-maceration, a gentle cold contact between skins and must that extracts the distinctive coppery hue. The grapes are processed in two separate batches and undergo gentle pressing. Fermentation and ageing take place in stainless steel tanks, preserving the fruit's fragrance. Finally, the careful blend of the two selections ensures the utmost expression of freshness, juiciness and organoleptic harmony.
History and Curiosities
The Bosco del Merlo Pinot Grigio Rosé originates from vineyards meticulously tended plot by plot, nestled between the ancient Roman roads Annia and Postumia. This elegant, sustainable wine, certified Vegan OK, comes to life through a rigorous process of cold cryomaceration and slow maturation in steel, techniques that enhance its unmistakable aromatic vibrancy. Highly acclaimed by critics, this rosé embodies the character of the Venezie region, blending agricultural dedication with oenological passion.

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.
