Kooksoondang Launches 'Nestore Bosco' Wine with 120 Years of Tradition from Italy

Kooksoondang announced on the 31st that it will exclusively launch five representative wines from the Italian Montepulciano d'Abruzzo winery, Nestore Bosco, in Korea.

The Nestore Bosco winery, established in 1897 by Giovanni Bosco, is a leading brand that has driven the growth of Abruzzo region wines in Italy through family management spanning five generations over 120 years. Montepulciano d'Abruzzo wines produced in the Abruzzo region are known as a symbol of cost-effective wines with high quality at an affordable price.

The winery is located in the Nocciano area, which is currently designated as a UNESCO Global Geopark. Situated on hills where cool sea breezes blow, it boasts a distinctive terroir. In 1968, Montepulciano d'Abruzzo wine was upgraded to DOC, the Italian wine classification system. That same year, Nestore Bosco wine began its first export to the United States and was recorded as the first recognized exported Montepulciano d'Abruzzo wine. Currently, more than 85% of its production is exported to over 60 countries including the United States, Germany, and Japan.

Among Nestore Bosco wines, the "Pan Montepulciano d'Abruzzo" wine uniquely features a half-human, half-animal face on its label. This artwork, created by the famous Italian painter Pierto Cassella, symbolizes a wine made through the harmony of humans and nature by combining the faces of a nature god and a human.

The Nestore Bosco wines introduced domestically this time include a total of five types: two red wines and three white wines. The red wines are divided into premium and regular grades of Montepulciano d'Abruzzo. The white wines are made from three varieties: the indigenous Pecorino, Moscato, and the international Chardonnay, offering wines with rich floral aromas and peach flavors that are highly appealing.
