Friulano Pietris 2024

Description

Still white wine from Friuli-Venezia Giulia, 13% ABV, produced by Bosco del Merlo. 100% Friulano/Sauvignon Vert. 0.75 L bottle, 2024 vintage. A wine that embodies the essence of Friuli, with a modern interpretation of Friulano. The grapes are gently pressed to obtain the free-run must, which undergoes static decantation. The clarified must then ferments in stainless steel at a controlled temperature of 16-18°C (60-64°F) to enhance the varietal's characteristics. The wine then ages on its lees for four months, again in stainless steel, during which time batonnage is performed to enrich the wine's aromatic profile. Notes of yellow fruit, such as peach, emerge on the nose, accompanied by characteristic vegetal notes, white flowers, and almond. It is yellow in color, enhanced by greenish highlights. On the palate, the wine is fresh, savoury and well-structured, with a pleasant aftertaste of bitter almond, typical of the variety.

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.
