Tenuta Ulisse Amaranta Montepulciano 2019 (Italy)
- French & American oak
- Marasca cherries
- Spice & liquorice
- Velvet texture
"Wonderfully concentrated on the nose with a potpourri of aromas - think plum jam, dark smoky oak and saddle leather. It is inky and opulent with succulent dark fruit, an inviting savouriness, hints of dark orange chocolate and espresso with supple tannins and a long, lifted finish" New Zealand International Wine & Spirits Awards
Ruby red with garnet reflections, intense and persistent fragrance; the bouquet is intense, fruity, persistent, with notes of dried flowers, spice, liquorice, marasca cherries. the palate is stylish, velvety, almost creamy, compact with tannic structure that blends nicely with the alcoholic component. Great structure, complex, elegant, well balanced with a long aftertaste. Opulent fruit.
Part of the grapes have been rigorously harvested after a slight over-ripening of the plant, 15/20 days maceration, thermo-controlled alcoholic fermentation at 24-26°C. Aged foir 9.5 months in French and American barriques.
The origin of this grape has always been uncertain. Also students as Molon (1906) classified it as a “Sangioveti” variety. Today it is sure that the two grapes have nothing in common. Cultivated mainly in Abruzzo and the other regions of centre south Italy. Today, thanks to the passion of some producers and winemakers, the Montepulciano has emerged to the international limelight as one of the best quality red grapes in world.
Food Pairing: Ideal for roasts, game, strongly flavoured dishes and mature cheese.
