Bossanova is not only a famous Brazilian musical genre born in the 1950s, thanks to some of the most talented South American artists, such as Antônio Carlos Jobim, Vinícius de Moraes and João Gilberto. It is also the name of a winery in Abruzzo, which has come to light with very interesting wines. In reality, there is a link between the tradition of Brazilian music and wine. Just as the meeting of three extraordinary artists gave birth to an important and innovative musical movement, the meeting between Andrea Quaglia and Nat Colantonio, one a manager and the other a musician, was also the basis of the desire to create a new project in the viticulture sector, animated by a great passion for the land of Abruzzo. The estate is located in the hilly area of ​​Controguerra, in the province of Teramo. The vineyards extend over a total surface area of ​​about nine hectares, in an area that has always been very suitable for viticulture, by virtue of its particular geographical location. Located halfway between the high peaks of the Abruzzo Apennines and the Adriatic Sea, the Controguerra vineyards benefit from a rather cool continental climate, but mitigated by sea breezes, with significant temperature variations between day and night temperatures. Thanks to these favorable conditions, the grapes reach full ripeness slowly and accumulate very rich and intense perfumes and aromas. The Controguerra area is particularly suited for native vines, in particular for Montepulciano d'Abruzzo and Trebbiano abruzzese. The presence of two such important vines has protected the region from the massive introduction of international vines. The vineyards are managed following the principles of biodynamics and ancient customs, in harmony with nature and respecting an uncontaminated environment. Even in the cellar practices, minimally invasive processes are followed, with spontaneous fermentations catalyzed by indigenous yeasts, very low addition of sulfur dioxide during bottling and no addition of oenological additives. Furthermore, for the vinification and refinements, wooden barrels are never used, but only glass-lined cement tanks or amphorae (especially for Trebbiano). The result of this minimalist approach is a frank and genuine wine, which directly expresses the true character of the terroir.
