We want to give you all the colours, perfumes and flavours from the Abruzzi Region, collecting them into our wines to let you dive your senses into a centuries long tradition.
Wherever you are...

At the end of the XIX century the young Giovanni Bosco began to cultivate vines on the hills of Castellamare Adriatica (that became the city of Pescara in 1926). Strong and tenacious as the vine, Giovanni finally obtained a wonderful red wine with an intensive bouquet and a spicy taste, that, once named Montepulciano d'Abruzzo, would have been known all over the world in the following century. It was 1897 and Bosco Winery was born. The story went on with Nestore Bosco and his son Giovanni Jr: the same names and the same passion for vines and wines.

#1Since 1968, following the D.O.C. (Denomination of controlled origin) given to the Montepulciano d'Abruzzo wine, Bosco's wines became well-know all over the world gaining several awards during the last decades. Believing in high quality wine allows the winery to became bigger: unfortunately the hills of Pescara were not able any more to receive new vineyards because the city was expanding itself.


It was the beginning of the '80s when Giovanni Jr realized on the landscape of Nocciano, a town in the province of Pescara, the spectacular winery that is a jewel among the underground architecture: here the Montepulciano d'Abruzzo, the pride of Bosco Family, rests and matures into big barrels from Slavonia, new barriques and in bottles perfectly aligned along the special tunnels for aging. #1 A tradition, those of Bosco Family, intended to go on with the new generation: Nestore, Oenologue, and Stefania, Accountant, son and daughter of Giovanni Jr. They wear the same names and show the same fervent enthusiasm, ready to keep high the Bosco name in the national and international markets.
And the story goes on...



#1
Sui declivi dei colli soleggiati
Del generoso Abruzzo i più pregiati
Ricchi vigneti s’aprono alla vista
Dell’enologo esperto e dell’artista.
E qui con festosi vendemmiali,
i vini Bosco hanno i loro natali.

È proprio il caso che io ti dica qua
Cosa vuol dire il vin di qualità?
Sappi che non esiste medicina
Più efficace, più buona e più divina:
risolve i tuoi problemi e le tue pene
soprattutto ti fa molto bene.

Se trovi delusione nell’amore
Annega nel Trebbiano il tuo dolore,
ma se incontri una donna che ti piace
è il Cerasuolo che ti rende audace,
per far carriera rapidamente
il Montepulciano è l’unico ingrediente.

Ti spremono le tasse fino all’ossa?
Spendi gli ultimi soldi in vino rosso.
Sono invece gli affari prosperosi?
Scegli fra i vini quelli più costosi.
Bevi sempre in allegra compagnia:
tutte le pene se ne andranno via.

O Bacco che col dono tuo prezioso
Fai diventare l’avaro generoso,
allegro il triste, fai la donna bella,
al taciturno doni la favella,
al bugiardo fai dir la verità,
anche al vecchio ridai vitalità!

Quest’epoca di guerra universale
Dominata dall’acqua minerale
Non vivrà più nel generoso affanno
Se al vin di Bosco tutti arriveranno.
In tutto il mondo allora il mitra tace
E dappertutto regnerà la pace.

Cavaliere Nestore Bosco 1975
