2023 Bosco Del Merlo Pinot Grigio

Bosco del Merlo 2023 Pinot Grigio

Producer Background
Bosco del Merlo is an Italian winery in Veneto (and Friuli/Venezia Giulia), owned by the Paladin family. They emphasize vineyard care, sustainable practices, temperature-controlled vinification, and producing wines that reflect freshness, fruit clarity, and regional character.

Grape, Vineyard & Terroir
This wine is made entirely from Pinot Grigio grapes, grown in the Delle Venezie / Tudajo area, which benefits from warm days, cool nights, and well‑drained soils. The climate and vineyard aspect lend itself to producing expressive whites that balance fruit ripeness with acidity.

Winemaking & Style
Grapes are harvested, sorted, and vinified in stainless steel tanks under temperature control. There is no oak aging—this is built to showcase the grape’s natural aroma and freshness. The style is dry, with a medium body and good persistence.

Tasting Notes
Visually, it shows pale straw with slight golden or copper hues. On the nose: acacia blossoms, pear, hawthorn, and a touch of nutmeg or floral spice. The palate is dry and smooth, with clean fruit (pear, light apple), a pleasant broad mouthfeel, balanced acidity, and a finish that lingers with floral and fruity echoes.

Food Pairing Suggestions
Pairs nicely with:

• Light seafood (grilled fish, shellfish, fish soups)

• White meats such as chicken or turkey

• Fresh salads or vegetable dishes, especially with legumes or light dressings

• Mild cheeses

Serving & Drinking Window
Serve chilled—around 10‑12 °C (50‑54 °F). Best enjoyed within a couple of years to preserve its freshness and fruit‑driven character.
