Tenuta Ulisse is a symbol of Abruzzo's oenological renaissance. It was founded in 2006 following a great intuition: the future of wine growing in Abruzzo had to take a new oenological path, in search of absolute quality. To do this, however, the right place, the right time and the best people were needed. This is how the idea of Tenuta Ulisse came into being, vineyards cultivated with wisdom and experience by the Ulisse family and the search, with each harvest, for a new masterpiece.
Linked to the historical grape varieties of Abruzzo, to the traditions of the places where they are cultivated and vinified, sap, this, of a millenary culture that still feeds Tenuta Ulisse's passion for wine. A company with a return to its origins, in love with wine and Abruzzo. The objectives that Tenuta Ulisse pursues are dictated by values of concrete simplicity, through work and knowledge, in a stronger experience of their land, of the different markets and their cultures in a changing world. To be there and to be recognised because they are understood, with a deep and elegant wine that speaks, in a modern way, of one's land in the world. Wines that are an interpretation of Abruzzo, in the constant sign of uniqueness.
A constantly evolving history full of experience and success. Tenuta Ulisse creates and experiments giving life each time to an idea in tune with the reality of the time with a clear and precise identity: "An original and unmistakable style for Abruzzi wines of distinction".
Description
Pecorino Terre di Chieti IGP from the Tenuta Ulisse winery is a special, unique and unrepeatable wine. The reason for the name being the same as the well-known cheese is uncertain, but it is probably due to the seasonal movements of shepherds who, on their return from the mountain areas in September, would bring their flocks to graze on the very vineyards where the fruit had already been harvested.
Organoleptic characteristics:
A fairly intense straw yellow colour with greenish hues. The aromas are very intense with pleasant notes of white fruit such as peach, citrus and exotic fruit. In the mouth it is immediately appreciated for its good acidity and minerality. In particular, notes of citrus fruits reminiscent of grapefruit are appreciated, as well as a slight sensation of exotic fruits such as papaya. The finish is of great persistence and pleasantness.
Storage time:
0-3 years
Vinification
Sorting and introduction of the whole grapes into the exclusive 'Ulysses' cooling tunnel and sudden temperature reduction with subsequent cryomaceration of the skin and extraction of the aromatic compounds; - Destemming, pressing in an inert environment, cold static clarification; - Slow fermentation at a controlled temperature of 11°C in temperature-controlled and inert tanks.
