Bosco Eliceo Merlot DOC is a red wine produced in Emilia-Romagna with Merlot grapes. Although made with international grapes, its wine acquires a certain personality, mainly due to the particular terroir. Depending on the residual sugar it is available in the dry version (without residual sugar) or in “abboccato” (semi-sweet) version; moreover, depending on the vinification method it can be still or “vivace” (lively).

It belongs to the name Bosco Eliceo DOC, which is unique in the Italian landscape: its wines are often called “sand wines”, because of the particular territory where they are produced. It is in fact a stretch of coastline between the mouth of the river Po and the city of Ravenna that is affected by the proximity to the Adriatic Sea: salt water, the breeze rich in iodine and the mainly sandy alluvial soil - hence the name “sand wines” - contribute to the production of wines that are known for their liveliness and corpulent flavor.
