Description
What kind of wine it is
The Traminer Aromatico Ibisco from Bosco del Merlo is an aromatic still white wine with a straw yellow colour and greenish highlights. On the nose, it offers a clear and intense profile, characterised by notes of dog rose and linden flowers. On the palate, it is soft and balanced, delivering a pleasantly refined aftertaste reminiscent of rose, lychee and passion fruit. This distinct flavour identity pairs excellently with smoked fish, cheeses and spicy foods, also enhancing dishes such as Sauris Ham and Tyrolean dumplings.
Where it comes from
This wine originates from the vineyards of Friuli, a region in north-eastern Italy renowned for its fragrant white wines. Bosco del Merlo tends the vines using low environmental impact agriculture. Through careful zoning studies, the company identifies the most suitable soils to maximise grape quality. This approach ensures a genuine varietal expression, resulting in a label that fully reflects the character of its place of origin.
How it is produced
The Traminer Aromatico grapes undergo vinification in the absence of oxygen to prevent oxidation. The process includes cryo-maceration on the skins to extract the aromatic profile, followed by gentle pressing and static decantation. Fermentation takes place in steel tanks, an ideal environment for preserving the original fragrance. Finally, a three-month maturation on the lees enriches the structure, giving the wine an enveloping softness and a long finish consistent with the aromas perceived on the nose.
History and Curiosities
Founded in 1977 in Annone Veneto along ancient Roman roads, Bosco del Merlo cultivates 70 hectares with low environmental impact. Thanks to careful zoning, the Traminer Aromatico Ibisco was created. Awarded 95 points by Luca Maroni and three AIS vines, it is vinified without oxygen, enhancing the aromas of rose and passion fruit in a soft and balanced sip.

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.
