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

HISTORY
At the end of the XIX century, when the young Giovanni Bosco began to cultivate vines, the city of Castellamare Adriatica (that became Pescara in 1926) had no more than 15.000 inhabitants and extended on a narrow land. All around was the countryside and the “Lovers Hills” of Pescara were a fertile ground for vines: on those hills grew the first vines that thereafter characterized the Bosco’s Family history. 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, became famous all over the world in the following century. It was 1897 and Bosco Winery was born.
The story went on through Nestore Bosco and his son Giovanni: the same names and the same passion for vines and wines. Since 1967, when Montepulciano d’Abruzzo was classified as a D.O.C. (controlled origin denomination), Bosco’s wines became well-know all over the world thanks to the original label drawn by Nestore: this label, even if renewed more than once, still identifies the quality of Bosco’s Montepulciano d’Abruzzo, that awarded several times in the last decades.
The belief in high quality products allowed the winery to became bigger: unfortunately the hills of Pescara weren’t able any more to house new vineyards because the city was expanding. Bosco Family had only one choice: moving towards the inland, choosing the most fertile soils, making new vineyards to produce only high quality grapes, building a winery that would be able improve the potentiality of the native vines of the Abruzzi.
It was the beginning of the ‘80s and Giovanni, helped by his son Nestore and his daughter Stefania, realized in the countryside of Nocciano, a town in the province of Pescara, the spectacular winery, a jewel among of the subterranean 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.
A tradition, those of Bosco Family, intended to go on with the new generation that wears the same names and shows the same fervent enthusiasm.
