About the Wine
Year after year, Tenuta Ulisse has been proving its high quality with multiple 95+ scores, and it has quickly become Luca Maroni's darling. The Maseri received a solid 99 point score by Maroni.
Tenuta Ulisse is located in the beautiful region of Abruzzo. This winery was founded in 2006 and today, it is a flagship for the winemaking revival of this Italian wine region.
The winery is owned and managed by brothers Antonio and Luige Ulisse, two passionate winemakers who pour their heart and soul into their family winery. Ulisse brothers have managed to perfectly combine the modernity of the new winemaking with the centennial traditions. Their vision is “To use the most expressive and unique terroirs of Abruzzo to create Abruzzo fine wine of distinction."
Ulisse winery is located about 9 miles from the Adriatic Sea. This is translated into a magnificent terroir that is benefited from maritime influence. The vineyards are planted with native grapes like Montepulciano d'Abruzzo, Trebbiano d'Abruzzo, Pecorino, Passerina y Cococciola.
Aging: Part for the wine ages in fine American and French barriques
Tasting Notes
100% Primitivo. Purple-red ruby with great depth. Dense bouquet of wild berries, blackberry and plum, with subtle floral notes. Imposing, elegant, austere, supported by smooth tannins and a vibrant vein-mineral acid.
