Bossanova: Artisan Wines from the Heart of Abruzzo

The Story of Bossanova

Born from the encounter between Andrea Quaglia, an internationally experienced manager, and Nat Colantonio, a musician and wine enthusiast, Bossanova embodies one of the most authentic expressions of contemporary Abruzzo winemaking. Just like the Brazilian music genre it’s named after, the winery blends harmony, rhythm, and sensitivity. Located in Controguerra, in the province of Teramo, Bossanova’s vineyards stretch between the Apennine mountains and the Adriatic Sea, a place where nature and culture coexist. From its inception, the project has aimed to create wines that reflect the soul, pace, and purity of rural Abruzzo through a modern and conscious approach.

Vineyard Philosophy

In the vineyards, Bossanova embraces a deep respect for nature and biodiversity. The gently rolling hills benefit from ideal climatic conditions, marked by wide temperature variations and marine breezes that preserve the aromatic integrity of the grapes. Farming follows biodynamic principles, with minimal soil intervention and exclusive use of natural preparations. No synthetic chemicals are employed—just patient, respectful work that keeps the vines in balance. Native varieties such as Montepulciano d’Abruzzo and Trebbiano Abruzzese are cultivated with devotion to local heritage and terroir expression.

Approach in the Cellar

Bossanova’s winemaking philosophy is based on purity and transparency. Fermentations occur spontaneously with indigenous yeasts, without forced temperature control, allowing the wines to follow their natural rhythm. Sulfur is used only in minimal quantities during bottling, while clarifying agents and additives are completely avoided. Maturation takes place in glazed concrete tanks or terracotta amphorae, enabling slow evolution and preserving the minerality of the terroir. Each bottle is a handcrafted reflection of the vineyard’s voice and the artisan’s intuition.

The Heart of Abruzzo in Every Glass

Bossanova’s wines capture the true spirit of Controguerra, where sandy and clay soils bring depth, vitality, and a sense of place. The winery represents a new generation of Abruzzese producers who believe that authenticity lies in the honesty of agricultural work. From the energetic Montepulciano to the bright, Mediterranean Trebbiano, every wine is a journey through land and emotion. Bossanova is Abruzzo that sings, ferments, and lives.
