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
L'Amaranta è un simbolo dell’eccezionalità di un terroir come quello della zona di Crecchio. Un vino che nasce dalla passione dei fratelli Ulisse e dal loro legame con i vitigni storici abruzzesi, alle tradizioni dei luoghi in cui essi vengono coltivati e vinificati. Un vino di classe indiscutibile, è l’omaggio doveroso, d’amore e di rispetto, alla più grande uva rossa d’Abruzzo: il Montepulciano d’Abruzzo.
