he 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. At the end of the ‘90s, the family purchased a further 50 hectares of land in Lison di Portogruaro, which is the heart of this wine area. Today, Bosco del Merlo estate is made up of 100 hectares. In spring 2001 the new headquarters were officially opened: a beautiful villa, built in the Palladian style hosting the head office, the trade and administrative departments.

T
he chateau’s cellar structure or foundation housed an original Chateau that was given by the Comte de Provence to Gérard De Villeneuve, in 1201. Its first known proprietors after the de Villeneuves were two brothers, Sauver Louis Ranque and Francois Alexandre Ranque. In January of 1875, the Ranque brothers sold Chateau d’Esclans, then known as Terre d’Esclans, to the inventor of the French Wooden Match, Joseph Toussaint Caussemille whose family owned Chateau d’Esclans until 1955. In 1955 Chateau d’Esclans was purchased by The
Perraud family who owned it until 1994. During that year, it was sold to a Swedish pension fund which produced nominal quantities of wines. In 2006 Sacha Lichine acquired Chateau d’Esclans beginning a new and exciting history for this remarkable chateau and the 267 hectares surrounding it.

antina Tollo was founded in 1960 from the initiative of a small group of people, who wanted to give value to an old tradition and try with enthusiasm, a new experience. Every choice, initiative, and innovation, have been made to achieve excellence in quality. In 1962, the first great step was taken: the wine-making methods. After ten years came the bottling, the invention of a brand and the creation of a new identity to introduce Cantina Tollo to the final consumer. Then with the help of an experienced oenologist they blended tradition and technology to start the production of Montepulciano d’Abruzzo and of the Cerasuolo wines.
