Tenuta Ulisse Pecorino

Tenuta Ulisse, a modern expression of a centuries-old tradition of passion and dedication to the land, is one of Abruzzo’s premier winemaking estate. It has aggressively dived into the enormous potential of Abruzzo’s unique terroir and ancient varieties by placing a contemporary spin on indigenous grapes such as Montepulciano D’Abruzzo, Trebbiano D’Abruzzo, Pecorino, Passerina e Cococciola.

The Pecorino grape has been grown for centuries
in the central regions of Italy, especially Marche and Abruzzo, where it is known also with different denominations.

The bunch is medium sized, long, cylindrical - or pyramid-shaped, often with wings, with widely spaced berries.

The grapes are chilled and crushed before cold maceration on the skins. Fermentation is in stainless steel and the wine ages for 3 months before bottling

Fruity aroma with citrus, tropical nuances, white peach and exotic fruits like papaya. It has a lingering and very fresh taste with a slightly balsamic finish. Medium acidity and good structure.
