Montepulciano d'Abruzzo Avegiano 2009 Bove is a rich, full-bodied Italian red, from Cantina Bove. It is aged for 6 months in small Slovenian oak casks, followed by a further 4 months in bottle, prior to release, giving it spiced berry aromas, a satisfying, velvety mouth feel and a long finish. Recommended at the Decanter Wine Awards 2010.
We visited Dario Bove at his winery in the Abruzzi last year, east over the Apennine hills from Rome, and a nowhere in the world will you find a better natured winemaker. The estate has been completely renovated, with the latest technology installed to ensure that wines are made in a clean, modern style, so that the traditional work in the vineyard can produce the best results.
The Bove family's winemaking heritage stretches back to the year 1890, and today the estate's flagship wine, Indio, is a gold medal winner and recommended in Italy's wine 'Bible' the Gambero Rosso.
