Tenuta Ulisse
Denomination: Terre di Chieti PGI Grape variety: Pecorino
The charm of its mineral essence is unparalleled. Splendid for the stylistic rigor that stands out for its power and roundness. Perfect balance between acidity and freshness. Particular, unique, unrepeatable. The reason for the denomination equal to the well-known cheese is uncertain but it is probably due to the seasonal movements of the shepherds who, returning from the mountain areas in September, brought their flocks to graze on the vineyards where the fruit had already been harvested.
