The vineyard on the western side of the Montalcino hills is so secluded that you can enjoy the starry sky to the full without being disturbed. It is therefore not surprising that this supple, very classic Brunello bears the name "Sky of Ulysses". As is well known, Odysseus had the ability to navigate the seas without a compass and by simply orientating himself by the stars.

Deep dark ruby with light-coloured inclusions. The bouquet is a potpourri of aromas that unfold almost endlessly, with floral notes of light roses and white flowers alongside black and red fruits. On the palate, power, flavour and a freshness that, together with the well-proportioned tannins, suggest a harmonious and exciting development! SUPERIORE.DE

"Bright ruby red with a delicately brightening rim. On the nose, dried herbs, leather, ripe raspberries, cranberries and light spice. Compact on the palate, with a creamy texture and slightly grippy tannins, as well as beautiful juiciness and ripe fruit, with a fine swing." Falstaff

"Brilliant medium ruby red with orange-coloured reflections. Notes of oak and roasted coffee beans, including cool red fruit. Lush cherry fruit on the palate with firm tannins on the finish." Jancis Robinson

"An elegant red, offering vivid cherry and strawberry flavors driven by vibrant acidity, with sinewy tannins underneath. Accents of earth and flowers chime in as this winds down on the dense finish." Wine Spectator

"The Brunello di Montalcino Cielo d'Ulisse 2019 is dark and intense, enticing with exotic spices, mandarin zest, cedar shavings and rum-soaked cherries. It is cool and racy in style, with crisp wild berries supported by lively acidity. Violet, floral notes arch across the palate. The momentum remains even as crisp tannins assault the senses, leaving a stain of tart cranberry and orange that slowly fades. I expect that three to five years of ageing will reveal a Brunello of boundless energy. The Cielo d'Ulisse is a single-vineyard wine that comes from vineyards in the extreme south-west of Montalcino." Vinous
