Bove, Avegiano Montepulciano d'Abruzzo 2022

Get to know: Bove 'Avegiano' Montepulciano d'Abruzzo 2022

Italian red wine from the sun-drenched hills of Abruzzo, made from the iconic Montepulciano grape.

Tasting Note

Bove 'Avegiano' is a robust and savoury Montepulciano d'Abruzzo that shows off the best of this native Italian grape. Deep ruby in colour with generous aromas of red cherries, wild strawberries, and subtle hints of vanilla and coconut from gentle oak ageing. On the palate, it’s medium-bodied yet structured, offering ripe red fruit flavours, a touch of spice, and smooth, well-integrated oak. The finish is long, balanced, and inviting, making this a beautifully approachable Abruzzo red that’s perfect for everyday drinking or special occasions.

Top food pairings:

  • Grilled lamb chops with rosemary
  • Tomato-based pasta dishes, such as penne all’arrabbiata
  • Aged Pecorino or Parmigiano cheeses
Kate Says

"This Montepulciano d'Abruzzo is the kind of wine you want with a hearty Italian supper. Think rich pasta sauces or roast lamb – it’s generous, approachable, and effortlessly satisfying. Textbook, well-made, entry-level red."
