Tenuta Ulisse Unico Montepulciano d'Abruzzo is an exceptionally vibrant, modern, and fruit-forward red wine produced in the sun-drenched hills of Abruzzo, Italy. Tenuta Ulisse is a dynamic, family-run estate renowned for pushing the boundaries of traditional winemaking while celebrating the native grapes of the Adriatic coast. Crafted from meticulously managed vineyards, this wine captures the bold, juicy character of Montepulciano, offering an accessible yet deeply satisfying expression of Italian terroir.

Why You'll Love It

This wine stands out for its plush texture, intense berry concentration, and remarkable approachability. Grown in limestone and clay soils warmed by the Mediterranean sun and cooled by sea breezes from the Adriatic, the grapes achieve optimal maturity while retaining refreshing energy. Matured in stainless steel to preserve its pure, unmasked primary fruit characteristics, it delivers an inviting array of black cherries, ripe plums, and subtle spice, supported by velvety, soft tannins.

Vineyard & Production

The grapes are hand-harvested from mature vineyard blocks situated on sloping hills in Abruzzo, where vines benefit from excellent sun exposure and cooling coastal drafts. Following destemming and gentle crushing, the must undergoes maceration in temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks to extract rich ruby colour and supple tannins efficiently. Fermentation takes place with selected indigenous yeasts, and the wine is aged entirely in stainless steel vats before final bottling to maintain its lively aromatic profile and vibrant freshness.

Tasting Notes

In the glass, it displays a deep, brilliant ruby-red colour with vibrant violet highlights. The nose is expressive, warm, and fruit-forward, opening with generous aromas of ripe black cherries, dark plums, and wild blackberries, complemented by subtle touches of liquorice, sweet baking spice, and violet petals. On the palate, it is medium to full-bodied, smooth, and rounded, offering succulent dark fruit flavours framed by soft, velvety tannins and a gentle beam of acidity that leads to a clean, harmonious, and satisfying finish.

Perfect Pairings

With its lush dark fruit profile, soft tannins, and versatile structure, this Montepulciano d'Abruzzo is an ideal companion for everyday dining and relaxed gatherings. It pairs magnificently with wood-fired pizzas, rich lasagna, grilled Italian sausages, and classic beef ragù. It is also an excellent match for roasted pork shoulder, charcuterie boards, and semi-hard cheeses such as Provolone or young Pecorino.
