2023 Bosco Del Merlo Pinot Grigio 'Tudajo'

100% certified sustainable Pinot Grigio. All stainless steel for fermentation and aging. 13% alcohol.

Pours a pale yellow color with just slight coppery hints- not quite “ramato” in style. Refreshing and crisp, with a smooth medium body, notes of lemon, pear, green apple and almonds with more minerality than many Pinot Grigios. Acidity is moderate, making this an easy sipping wine and a great accompaniment to fish dishes or vegetable and legume dishes, such as chickpea salad or lentils with ginger.

Bosco del Merlo is run by the third generation of the Paladin family: Francesca and her cousin Martina. The winery prioritizes sustainability in all its operations and is Equalitas certified. Equalitas is a 360-degree sustainability certification that addresses three areas: social, environmental, and economic (it is organic +++!). They produce classic northern-Italian, single-varietal wines at very compelling prices. Bosco del Merlo was founded in 1977 in Annone Veneto when Valentino Paladin realized his dream of creating wines from sustainable practices that could best express the potential and identity of the territory between Eastern Veneto and Western Friuli. The name ‘Bosco del Merlo’ comes from local topographical maps and is reminiscent of the oak forests that once covered the area. The vineyards of Bosco del Merlo located in Western Friuli are at the foothills of the Carnic Alps.
