Safari Pecorino Terre di Chieti IGT, Cantina Bove, Abruzzo

Tasting Note

The wine has a brilliant, straw colour with faint green hues. The vibrant aromas of peaches, citrus fruits, flowers and wild sage jump out of the glass. It is full-bodied, dry and balanced with a refreshing aftertaste of lively citrus fruits.

Producer Note

Since the winery was founded in 1930 it has become one of the best producers in the region perfectly balancing tradition and innovation with quality and value. The estate comprises 60 hectares of well located vineyards under the watchful eye of oenologist Dott. Vittorio Festa. The low yields, rigorous grape selection, up-to-date vinification techniques and refined ageing of their red wines in oak barrels ensures a growing reputation for top class wines. The Bove style is to make elegant, fragrant white wines and well-textured, mellow reds showing good typicity from the native Montepulciano grape - a vine of undeniable distinction that can make wines of irresistible character with a capacity to age and supple, smooth wines eminently drinkable when young.

Winemaking
