Vinification of the Pecorino Terre di Chieti from Ulisse

The ULISSE line consists of single-varietal wines, which impressively demonstrate the fantastic aromas and flavors that are created when indigenous grape varieties grow on the ideal soils for them. The origin of Pecorino grapes is uncertain, but they have been cultivated for centuries in the central regions of Italy, such as Abruzzo. The grapes are selectively harvested by hand in 10 kilogram containers, cooled by dry ice and transported undamaged to the winery. There they are selected again to ensure an absolutely healthy harvest.

The grapes are cooled down to -5°C within 3 minutes using nitrogen. This breaks up the cell structure and promotes extraction, which explains the intense, fascinating fresh and fruity aroma of this wine. Fermentation takes place at a controlled temperature in stainless steel tanks, followed by ageing in the same tanks for a period of 3 months.
