'Pelago' Marche Rosso IGT Umani Ronchi 2018

Pelago Marche Rosso IGT , produced by the Umani Ronchi winery, is a prestigious example of the fact that "international" and native vines can become equally representative of the territory, when worked in an excellent way. This is the case of this structured red, obtained from a blend of Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, native grapes of the Conero and Montepulciano. The harvest, carried out rigorously by hand, follows the maturation rhythms of the individual vines: therefore it begins with the Merlot in early September and ends in October with the late Montepulciano. The grapes are destemmed, lightly pressed and left to ferment for two weeks on indigenous yeasts. Once the malolactic fermentation is complete, the wine is aged for 14 months in oak barriques and, once bottled, it is further left to rest for a year. Pelago Marche Rosso IGT is an elegant and versatile wine, capable of attracting the attention of international juries, as well as cheering up a table of friends.
