Made exclusively from \u003cstrong\u003eVerduzzo\u003c\/strong\u003e grapes, it expresses a deep sensory profile, born from the combination of dried and over-ripened clusters. In the glass, it reveals an \u003cstrong\u003eintense golden colour\u003c\/strong\u003e, opening with a bouquet of citrus notes and ripe tropical fruit. On the palate, it offers a \u003cstrong\u003erefined sweetness\u003c\/strong\u003e, expertly balanced by a \u003cstrong\u003eclear freshness\u003c\/strong\u003e that makes the sip smooth and balanced, confirming its status as an elegant meditation wine.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhere it comes from\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eIt originates in the \u003cstrong\u003eLison Pramaggiore\u003c\/strong\u003e area, on the border with Friuli, in a territory with an excellent microclimate. The vineyards benefit from the mild \u003cstrong\u003einfluence of the Adriatic Sea\u003c\/strong\u003e and the cool breezes from the Alps, a vital combination for maintaining the acidity and aromatic clarity of the \u003cstrong\u003eVerduzzo\u003c\/strong\u003e. The vines take root in \u003cstrong\u003eclayey and calcareous soil\u003c\/strong\u003e, which gives the wine structure and a clean palate. \u003cstrong\u003eBosco del Merlo\u003c\/strong\u003e, whose name recalls the ancient local oak forests, pays constant \u003cstrong\u003eattention to the vineyard\u003c\/strong\u003e, considered the true heart of the estate's qualitative expression.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eHow it is produced\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe production of this vegan wine follows a careful double harvest. Part of the clusters are harvested early and placed in \u003cstrong\u003enaturally ventilated\u003c\/strong\u003e rooms for drying, promoting sugar concentration. The remaining fruit undergoes a \u003cstrong\u003elate harvest\u003c\/strong\u003e of over-ripening directly on the vine. The two batches ferment and mature separately in oak \u003cstrong\u003ebarrels\u003c\/strong\u003e for ten months. At the end of the ageing process, the batches are combined in a synergistic \u003cstrong\u003efinal blend\u003c\/strong\u003e, resulting in a passito with a complex and harmonious aromatic texture.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHistory and interesting facts\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFounded in 1978 by the Paladin family in eastern Veneto, the Bosco del Merlo estate pays tribute to the ancient oak forests of Lison Pramaggiore. This elegant passito is inspired by the legend of Soandre, the mythical princess transformed into a stream for love, and reflects the winery's deep commitment to \u003cstrong\u003esustainability\u003c\/strong\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Bosco del Merlo","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47267657253035,"sku":"62007","price":18.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0652\/6789\/2395\/files\/bosco-del-merlo-verduzzo-passito-soandre-2021_62007_1_6cbaa0a0-848e-4daf-8980-eac3779f064d.webp?v=1788283443","url":"https:\/\/xtriwine.com\/products\/bosco-del-merlo-verduzzo-passito-soandre-2021","provider":"Xtrawine","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
