Our Story
Wine, music, art.
One frequency.
Bossanova was founded in 2018, but in truth it began much earlier — among the vines and in the cellar of my grandfather, Juccio, in Controguerra, in the Colline Teramane of Abruzzo.
Chapter I
Here, wine was never a product. It was always a gesture — a daily ritual built on hands, seasons, silence and patience.
My name is Andrea Quaglia. I grew up between vineyards and a piano. At five years old I could already play melodies by ear. Music became my language.
I studied classical piano before discovering rock, blues, the Rhodes piano and the Hammond organ. Although music eventually stopped being my profession, it never stopped shaping the way I think.
Chapter II
Today Bossanova is where those two worlds finally meet. Making wine feels remarkably similar to making music. Technique and emotion. Discipline and improvisation. Method and instinct.
Every vintage is another performance.
My Ikigai
Bossanova was born with one simple ambition: to produce honest, genuine and delicious wines. Wine that doesn't pretend. Wine that doesn't shout. Wine that simply tells you where it comes from.
I begin with one rule — I'll always be the first person drinking it. If I don't feel like finishing the bottle, it simply isn't Bossanova.
Everything begins with one word: drinkability.
Drinkability isn't about making simple wines. It's about energy. Precision. Freshness. Balance. Wine that naturally invites another sip. Wine that belongs around food, friends and long conversations.
Our challenge in Abruzzo is preserving freshness and elegance while respecting the depth and character of Trebbiano and Montepulciano. When that balance is achieved — magic happens.
Philosophy
Real quality. No autotune.
I've tasted many great wines. The biggest lesson they taught me is simple: you immediately recognise authenticity. Just like music.
Today there is plenty of perfectly polished music. Everything is technically flawless, yet somehow empty. Wine can become exactly the same. Perfectly made. Perfectly marketed. Perfectly forgettable.
I prefer wines that speak. Sometimes a tiny imperfection tells the greatest story — a difficult vintage, a brave decision, a human hand. Authenticity will always outlive perfection.
“I stopped thinking of myself as a pianist. Today I see myself as a conductor. The vineyard rehearses all year. The harvest is the first.”
