Designed for those looking for an intense yet harmonious red, Pelago fully represents Umani Ronchi's philosophy: enhancing local grapes with a contemporary vision.Vintage details
The 2020 vintage was characterized by a balanced summer and a mild autumn, ideal conditions for a slow and complete maturation of the grapes. The harvest, carried out by hand in late September for Cabernet Sauvignon and early October for Montepulciano, allowed for the selection of only the best bunches, ensuring a wine of great balance and longevity.Winemaking and aging
The fermentation of Marche Rosso IGT 'Pelago' 2020 - Umani Ronchi takes place in stainless steel tanks at a controlled temperature for about 12-14 days, with pump-overs and delestage (i.e., racking of the must to aerate it and promote the extraction of color and tannins).

After bottling, it rests further in the cellar for at least one year, so as to reach its full expression before being released to the market.Tasting notes
