Tenuta Ulisse Sogno di Ulisse Montepulciano d’Abruzzo DOP 2024 — “The Dream of Ulisse” — is a medium-bodied, softly textured expression of the Montepulciano grape from one of Abruzzo’s most dedicated producers. Ruby red with purplish reflections; layers of plum and red cherry on the nose, with blueberry, blackcurrant, and savoury red fruits; a palate of great fruit intensity and soft, approachable texture. Fermented and macerated in stainless steel for 15–20 days at controlled temperature, with a percentage aged in medium toasted barriques for 4 months to add depth and complexity.
Tasting Notes
Appearance
Ruby red with purplish reflections — the vibrant, youthful colour of a Montepulciano d’Abruzzo DOP of genuine fruit intensity and regional character, with the depth and clarity that careful fermentation and partial barrique ageing deliver.
Aroma
Layers of plum and red cherry — with blueberry, blackcurrant, and savoury red fruits adding depth and complexity. The pure, inviting, and characterfully Abruzzo bouquet of a Montepulciano crafted by Tenuta Ulisse with precision and passion.
Palate
Medium-bodied and softly textured — plum, red cherry, blueberry, and blackcurrant, with great fruit intensity and the gentle complexity that partial ageing in medium toasted barriques delivers. Approachable, generous, and genuinely satisfying from the very first sip.
Pairs With
A natural companion for grilled lamb cutlets with caramelised pear, hearty chicken casserole, spaghetti Bolognese, and any occasion that calls for a medium-bodied, fruit-forward Montepulciano d’Abruzzo of genuine character and warmth. Serve at 16–18°C.
Finish
Soft, fruity, and satisfying — plum, red cherry, blueberry, and savoury red fruits fading with the gentle texture and fruit intensity that define Sogno di Ulisse, leaving a warm, generous close that makes every glass a genuinely rewarding expression of Abruzzo Montepulciano. Serve at 16–18°C.
