.This Brunello is made from 100% Sangiovese grapes, which grow on the limestone and clay soils of the western slopes of Montalcino. These soils, rich in slate and sediment, give the wine its characteristic minerality. The Mediterranean climate with hot summers and mild winters offers ideal conditions for ripening the grapes. The vineyards are cultivated using the Spurred Cordon system, which ensures optimal
grape quality.The special feature of Cielo d'Ulisse lies in its biodynamic production. The wine is fermented in open wooden vats for 20 days, with 80% of the fermentation taking place with open flaps and the remaining 20% using the Piedmontese method (infusion). The wine is then aged for 30 months in large oak barrels and a further 12 months in cement tanks, giving it additional depth
and complexity.For wine lovers who appreciate the terroir and authenticity of Montalcino, Cielo d'Ulisse 2019 offers an unparalleled taste experience. It is interesting to know that the wine has minimal sulfur content due to its biodynamic production, which highlights the purity and natural aromas of Sangiovese
