✨ Technical Specifications
Tenuta Ulisse Pecorino captures the expressive potential of the native Pecorino grape grown in the dynamic climate of Abruzzo, where cool Apennine breezes meet warm Adriatic warmth. Crafted using modern temperature-controlled technology and skin-contact maceration under inert gas, this dry white wine emphasizes high aromatic retention and vibrant minerality. Un-oaked to maintain purity, it showcases bright tropical fruit and herbal complexities unique to Abruzzo's clay-limestone hillsides.
🍾 About the Producer
Established in 2006 by brothers Antonio and Luigi Ulisse, Tenuta Ulisse has emerged as a cornerstone of the modern enological renaissance in Abruzzo. Situated in the medieval hamlet of Crecchio in the province of Chieti, the estate’s vineyards sit between the Majella foothills and the Adriatic coast. This dynamic setting benefits from maritime breezes, marked diurnal shifts, and limestone-clay soils alternating with sandy marine deposits. While viticulture maintains sustainable practices utilizing regional pergola abruzzese training alongside modern guyot, cellar vinification leans heavily on technological precision. The estate pioneered cold processing and inert cryomaceration to protect delicate aromatic thiol precursors in white cultivars. Dedicated to elevating native varieties, Tenuta Ulisse is celebrated for its pristine white expressions, notably its benchmark Terre d'Abruzzo Pecorino, defined by intense citrus, ripe orchard fruit, and laser-focused saline acidity.
