Montepulciano is the second most planted red grape in Italy (after Sangiovese) and until the last decade, has had a reputation for churning out low priced, juicy "pizza friendly" reds. However, with modern winemakers taking over at the helm of their forefathers, this isn't the case today.
'Donna Bosco', from outside Pescara in Abruzzo on the Adriatic coast is an example of the amazing potential this grape can bring when cultivated well. For example, it's inky deep-purple colour with bursting black-fruits such as black cherry, blackberry and red plum really take a hold and coax your palate. It's a wine that can become more complex after 4/5 years ageing, with developments of chocolate and coffee showing through, but equally drinkable at the time of bottling.
With its robust and dense nature, this wine will often call for richer, savoury foods, like a roasted pork shoulder or beef Wellington with the caramelised sweetness of roasted winter vegetables. Basically anything with substance!
The label is from a painting by 70 year- old Costa Rican artist Lilian and is dedicated to a Bosco family member who supported the winery over its long history.
