Tenuta Ulisse Terre di Chieti Pecorino

Description

Founded in 2006, Tenuta Ulisse is one of Abruzzo’s premier winemaking estates.  Taking advantage of Abruzzo’s unique terroir, the  estate produces indigenous grapes of high quality such as Montepulciano D’Abruzzo, Trebbiano D’Abruzzo, Pecorino, Passerina and Cococciola.  With strong family traditional values, the estate is now run by brothers Antonio and Luigi Ulisse who share the family passion to grow and develop in the Abruzzo wine region and produce  exceptional quality wines.  The modern and dynamic Winery blends currant winemaking technology whilst expressing the character and potential of the native grapes of Abruzzo.

The whole grapes are chilled in a cooling tunnel with  cold maceration of the skin peel.  Following destemming, the fruit is soft crushed.  Fermented in stainless steel tanks at a temperature of 8 – 11 degrees followed by 3 months ageing in stainless steel.  This delicious wine is a bright yellow colour with a slight green tinge.  Aromas of  citrus, peach and tropical fruits.  Clean and fresh on the palate with a lovely acidity and a slightly savoury finish.

Perfect with Grilled White Fish, Shellfish, Soft Cheeses and Chicken.
