Terre di Chieti IGT Merlot 2024 Tenuta Ulisse

This rosé wine from Tenuta Ulisse is produced with only pure Merlot grapes, in the Crecchio area, a municipality included in the hilly territory that extends from the Adriatic coast to the Maiella mountains.

The grapes, coming from vineyards between the ages of 15 and 20, are harvested by hand in the first ten days of September. The selected bunches are placed in a cooling tunnel where the skin cryomaceration process of the peel takes place, which is followed, after 12 hours, by pressing and subsequent fermentation at a controlled temperature of 11 °C. Ageing is carried out in a steel tank and bottle.

The wine is presented at the sight of an intense cherry pink, accompanied by intense aromas of berries and floral notes of rose. On the palate it is fresh, harmonious and of great aromatic persistence.

Excellent as an aperitif, it goes well with appetizers, cold cuts and white meats. Perfect in the company of spaghetti alla chitarra, egg pasta symbol of Abruzzo cuisine, with tomato sauce or seafood.
