Paladin Refosco

Paladin wineries are located between Veneto and Friuli, where two regional cultures are fused together. The vineyards were planted here, along the ancient Roman road Postumia, on calcareous clay soil formed during the last ice age on the banks of the Tagliamento River, using modern winemaking methods. The winery's history began in 1962 when Valentino Paladin developed his winemaking skills through the energy of his children Carlo, Lucia, and Roberto. In 1977, the Paladin family purchased the first vineyards in Annone Veneto, an area known for its production of high-quality grapes. The old vineyards were gradually replaced with new-concept plants, thanks to fruitful cooperation with the Sperimentaleperla Viticoltura Institute in Conegliano. In 1985, a new and modern winery was built in Annone Veneto, next to the Bosco del Merlo estate. Along with the development of the winery's technical capabilities, the number of employees also increased. Highly qualified and dedicated employees participate in the winemaking project with great enthusiasm. In the late 1990s, the family acquired another 50 hectares of land in Lisondi Portogruaro, which is the heart of this wine region. Today, the Bosco del Merlo estate consists of 100 hectares. The beginning of the new millennium was marked by other important moments in the winery's history. In the spring of 2001, new headquarters were officially opened: a beautiful villa built in the Palladian style, housing the head office, sales, and administrative departments. Here, cellars and tasting rooms create a captivating atmosphere.
