Variety Cabernet Sauvignon 50% - Montepulciano 40% - Merlot 10% * percentages subject to slight variation depending on the year

First year of production 1994 Pelago is the result of the insight of our technical group, who had the idea of mating Montepulciano with Cabernet Sauvignon. It is a wine which retains the style and personality of the indigenous grapes while broadening its aromatic profile and complexity by adding qualities of the Bordeaux style of wine. To maintain a high standard of quality, we chose to produce it only in those years which provided grapes suitable for a fine wine.

The name Pelago, deriving from pelagos, meaning sea in ancient Greek, suggests its marine character and the special qualities of taste and aroma which are typical of wines produced near the coast.

Winemaker's notes Impenetrable ruby red colour with purple tints. On the nose, intense, clean and refined aromas are released: spicy fragrances of coffee, black pepper, liquorice and tobacco open out on a background of grass and hay, typical of Cabernet. In the mouth, the impact is of fruits of the forest, vanilla and mineral aromas, and strong but developed tannins with taste sensations in harmony with the wine's full body.
