The two brothers Antonio and Luigi Ulisse continue a legacy they inherited from their grandfather, who planted the first vines here in the early 1900's to produce wine for local sale. Today, Tenuta Ulisse's 55 hectares of vineyards extend around the inland villages of Crecchio and Lanciano and Ortona on the coast. The winery thus has a great mosaic of terroirs, and each grape variety has the optimal site conditions for it. If you want to smell and taste the typical characteristics of the special Abruzzo grape varieties such as Pecorino, Trebbiano d'Abruzzo, Montepulciano d'Abruzzo, you can't avoid Ulisse! The selective manual harvest takes place in 10 kg containers, cooled by dry ice, the grapes reach the winery undamaged. There they are selected again to ensure an absolutely healthy harvest. The grapes for rosé and white wines are cooled down to -5°C within 3 minutes by nitrogen. The cell structure is broken up and the extraction promoted, which explains the intensive, fascinating fresh-fruity aroma of the wines. Both the labels and the logo (horse) of the winery speak the language of the wines: the horse stands for freedom, for departure, for movement and symbolizes Antonio and Luigi's drive for innovation. The colorful labels of the ULISSE line were specially designed by the artist Gino Masciarelli for the Ulisse wines and express the explosion of aromas that the wines embody.
