The heart of Tenuta Ulisse's production lies in the Abruzzo region, specifically in the areas of Crecchio and Lanciano. Here, the vineyards benefit from deep, finely-textured, moderately alkaline, and very calcareous soil, providing an ideal environment for the Montepulciano D’Abruzzo grape. This historical variety, once mistakenly linked to Sangiovese, is now recognised internationally for its quality, thanks in part to the passion of producers like Tenuta Ulisse. Their vineyards, with an average age of 20 years, are cultivated using the spurred cordon system at a height of 50 cm, with 4000 to 5000 multiclone vines per hectare. Yields are carefully managed at 6000-7000 kg per hectare to ensure optimal grape concentration. The harvest takes place at the beginning of November, with grapes meticulously hand-picked into crates. In the winery, the winemaking process involves destemming followed by 15-20 days of maceration in stainless steel tanks. A soft crushing is performed in an inert environment at 0.7 bar, and fermentation occurs in inerted stainless steel tanks at temperatures between 24-26°C. The wine then ages for 4 months in stainless steel before bottling.
