2022 Bosco del Merlo Sauvignon Blanc 'Turranio'

100% certified sustainable Sauvignon Blanc from a single vineyard. Several different clones are vinified separately, and the wine is fermented and aged on its lees for five months in steel. 13% alcohol.

This is a lovely, expressive and aromatic cool-climate Sauvignon Blanc that will appeal to fans of French and New Zealand wines alike! Layers of tangy citrus, tart passionfruit, and tart stone fruits meld with pressed herbs, flint shavings, white wildflowers, and a touch of tomato leaf in this highly appealing wine. Perfect to pop and pour, this Sauv Blanc brings sunny sophistication to salads, seafood, mushroom dishes, and prosciutto!

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.
