PIANORO ABRUZZO, ITALY
Dario Bove is the third generation of his family to head the Cantine Bove winery, which was founded in Abruzzo in 1930. Abruzzo has an incredible number of protected wildlife areas which are authentic natural treasures. It is in this context of rural wisdom and eternal harmony with the earth, that the vineyards have been able to express themselves in an endless series of terroir, to offer wines of such character and international recognition as Montepulciano and Trebbiano d’Abruzzo. Through the generations they have learned how to work in harmony with their land and earned the trust of their local vigneron partners. Nothing would have been possible without the mutual trust and respect between their family and the winemakers from Abruzzo, the great interpreters of the territory and faithful executors of the winemaker’s needs, in terms of quality and the most natural methods possible. Thanks to them, it was also possible to protect and regain lost grape varieties, which were almost extinct. Cantine Bove makes honest wine that offers real pleasure and a sense of place.
