Podere Le Ripi Cielo D'Ulisse 2018 (Italy)

Description

Blackberry, Floral, Oak

Deep dark with lighter shadows, flavors are quite complex and the progression of different fragrances is endless, beginning with smaller black and red fruits, all surrounded by a hidden scent of blackberries and brackish water.

Our vineyards on the western slopes are surrounded by a fresh forest and very close to the Ombrone river. This means that they can handle well warmer seasons, like 2018. This is why the wine was able to maintain a nice dynamic taste, light without it being too sweet. The structure and texture of it are making us hope for great aging potential.

Fermentation in big open-top casks for 40 days, the first 80% of the fermentation is carried out alongside open pump overs, whereas the remaining 20% of the fermentation is done piemontesina-style (infusion). 28 months aging in oak barrels and 14 months in cement.
