Description
- Country: Italy
- Region: Abruzzo
- Vinification: The grapes for this Cru Montepulciano d'Abruzzo grow in very old vineyards on equally old vines that have been able to dig their roots into the calcareous, fine clay soil for an average of 30-35 years. The very warm environment and low rainfall as well as strong fluctuations between day and night temperatures ensure that the grapes can ripen well without losing their acidity. After the highly selective manual harvest, a portion of which is picked overripe for the Amaranta, the grapes are broken open in the Tenuta Ulisse cellar, crushed and the must fermented at a controlled temperature. The Amaranta then matures for 9 to 12 months in high-quality French and American oak barriques.The autochthonous Montepulciano d'Abruzzo grape variety has experienced a real renaissance in recent years. Not much is known about the origins of this dark grape. For a long time, it was attributed to the Sangiovese clone group. What is certain today, however, is that it is a completely independent autochthonous grape variety. It is mainly cultivated in the Abruzzo region and in the other regions of central and southern Italy. Thanks to some producers and oenologists and their conscientious work, the Montepulciano grape is experiencing a renaissance as one of the red grape varieties of the highest quality and excellence.
- Culinary recommendation: Enjoy this full-bodied Tenuta Ulisse Amaranta with succulent pasta with strong red sauces, roasts of red and dark meat, game, as well as mature, spicy cow's and sheep's cheese. And why not, of course, with pizza with rich toppings.
- Aroma & flavor: Intense, persistent and fruity aromas of dried flowers, liquorice and cherries on the nose. Velvety, creamy, compact tannins on the palate, well-structured, complex and elegant. A wonderfully balanced wine with a long finish.
