Montepulciano d'Abuzzo DOC 2021 - Bossanova

Montepulciano d'Abruzzo - Bossanova

Montepulciano di Bossanova is a red wine made from grapes of the same name that come from 40-year-old vineyards, harvested around the first week of October. In the cellar, part of the grapes are pressed with the feet and put into the barrel with the stalk. Short maceration on the skins and once fermentation has been completed, it ages for about 7 months in cask and 3 in bottle. It is an interpretation of Montepulciano that favors freshness, however sustained by the power of a vine of about 40 years that gives irresistible notes of red fruit, spices and balsamic.

Service

It is advisable to taste it at a temperature of 16/18° in tulip glasses. Wine to be drunk immediately but holds up well aging.

Pairing

Try it with savory first courses, main courses of meat, excellent with cheese.

Cellar: Bossanova

After a fortuitous meeting but an immediate harmony and intense professional motivation, Andrea Quaglia and Natalino Colantonio decide in 2018 to change their lives. This conversion passes through the land, in particular the hills planted with vines over forty years ago by Andrea's grandfather, for all Nonno Juccio, on the splendid hills of Controguerra, in the Teramo hinterland. A privileged area for viticulture, with its gentle altitude and the dual influence of the sea (which is just 10 kilometers away) and the mountains (the Gran Sasso can be seen on the horizon from the vineyards). For these clayey-limestone vineyards, the choice of organic and biodynamic agriculture (official certification is expected in 2021) and very low grape yields. It is in this way that Nat and Andrea enhance the traditional Abruzzo vines: Montepulciano and Trebbiano. The approach in the cellar could only be consistent with the respectful setting of the vineyards. Fermentations are spontaneous and take place without the use of sulfur dioxide. No oenological clarification and no filtration. Refinement takes place in concrete tanks. The red, rosé and white wines produced in this way are at the same time a reflection of the best Teramo tradition and a renewed drive towards the preservation of spontaneity of taste.
