History

Our wines come from tough soils, from men who have in their heart the talent of hearing nature, filled with long experience and big passion. With this commitment we want to be good ambassadors of the territory and of the production of Italian wine.

Paladin-Bosco del Merlo Wineries are located between Veneto and Friuli, where the two regional cultures have melted together. The vineyards were planted here, along the ancient Roman Postumia road, on the calcareous clays formed during the last glaciation by the Tagliamento river, resorting to the most modern viticultural techniques.
The history of the winery started in 1962 with Valentino Paladin and has developed thanks to the energies lavished by his children Carlo, Lucia and Roberto, carrying out the task of putting years of happy and fruitful experiences in the field to good use.

In 1977 Paladin family purchased the first vineyards in Annone Veneto, in a territory known for the production of high-quality grapes and founded the Bosco del Merlo estate, name present on the topographical maps in memory of the oak woods which used to cover the area. The old vineyards were gradually substituted by plants of modern conception, thanks to a profitable collaboration with the Istituto Sperimentale per la Viticoltura in Conegliano.
