Tenuta Ulisse Don Antonio was created as a tribute by the grandchildren to their grandfather and founder of this winery in Abruzzo. The grapes for its production are harvested after a brief over-ripening on the vine and subsequent maceration on the skins for about 20/25 days. Alcoholic fermentation then takes place, partly in steel at a temperature of 24-26°C and partly in cement. As regards maturation, part of the mass matures in oak barrels for 12 months where malolactic fermentation also takes place. The process ends with refinement in the bottle.
Characteristics of this Abruzzi wine
On organoleptic examination it has an intense red colour; the olfactory bouquet evokes blackberry, raspberry and plum as well as spicy and vanilla notes. On the palate, the tannic texture is evident but nevertheless harmonious, and the persistence is long.
Suggested food pairings with this Abruzzi red wine
Excellent with meat dishes, from starters to main courses.
