Description
Style of wine
Ribolla Gialla Iside by Bosco del Merlo is an organic and vegan still white wine that clearly expresses the character of its territory of origin. Belonging to the Venezia Giulia appellation, this label is produced entirely with Ribolla Gialla grapes, delivering a structured, fresh and savoury profile in the glass. The palate is smooth and enveloping, enriched by a notable complexity provided by the specific cellar techniques. Its mineral balance naturally opens the narrative towards the peculiarities of the area of origin and the rigorous oenological practices adopted.
Origin
This white wine originates in Friuli-Venezia Giulia, within the production area of the Venezia Giulia appellation. The deep connection between nature and the soil is celebrated by the name Iside, the ancient goddess of fertility, which directly reflects the estate's agricultural approach. Vineyard management follows strictly organic and sustainable practices, ensuring a final product suitable for a vegan diet while fully respecting the ecosystem.
Production process
Production begins in early September, harvesting the bunches during the coolest hours to preserve the delicate primary aromas intact. In the cellar, the grapes undergo a short maceration followed by soft pressing, gently separating the must from the skins. Fermentation takes place in stainless steel tanks at controlled low temperatures, preserving the freshness of the organoleptic profile. The process concludes with a long refinement on the lees before bottling, an essential phase that gives the wine a solid structure and an interesting prospect of longevity.
History and curiosities
The name of this label pays tribute to Isis, the ancient Egyptian goddess of fertility, thus celebrating the deep and unbreakable bond between nature and the Friulian territory. Produced by the Bosco del Merlo winery and expertly overseen by oenologist Antonio Lucarelli, this bottle stands out for its proud and environmentally respectful approach. The wine is strictly organic, sustainable and suitable for those following a vegan diet. The grapes are harvested during the coolest hours, ensuring a product with a longevity of three to five years.

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.
