Tasting notes

Cielo d’Ulisse 2020 is a wine that expresses its area of production and the vintage in all of its characteristics. It is harmonious and enjoyable in both character and taste. Coming from the vineyards on the western slopes, surrounded by the fresh forest, the juiciness of the fruit integrates perfectly with the gentle "hug" of the tannins. This vintage hasn't been generous in terms of quantities, but definately captivating and intriguing with a very interesting aging potential.
