Podere Le Ripi Cielo d'Ulisse Brunello di Montalcino DOCG 2018
Cielo d'Ulisse benefits from the "fresh climate" on the western side of Montalcino. Here, the fields are surrounded by forest and river and can thus withstand the heat better. This creates a dynamic wine with great drinkability and without too much sweetness. The balance is elegant and the taste has plenty of finesse.
Harvested at the end of September.
Fermentation in large open vats for 40 days, the first 80% of the fermentation is carried out together with open pump overs, while the remaining 20% of the fermentation is carried out according to Piedmontese style (infusion)
28 months aging in oak casks and 14 months in cement.
The color is deep dark red. The aroma is nice and big with small dark red berries and fruits, especially blackberries stand out.
The taste has plenty of finesse with high-quality tannins that support a well-balanced acidity. Nicely dynamic, light without being sweet.
The structure and texture give a clear indication that the wine has great aging potential.
A wine that drinks really well.
