Umani Ronchi Pelago Marche Rosso IGT 2021

The wine that put Umani Ronchi on the world stage — and hasn't looked back since.

When Pelago debuted in 1997, it won the Best Red Wine Trophy at the International Wine Challenge in London — an extraordinary debut for a wine from the Marche, a region better known for Verdicchio than for world-class reds. More than two decades later, Pelago remains one of Italy's most sought-after wines: a Cabernet-led blend of remarkable depth, elegance, and character.

Tasting Notes
Ink ruby red with purple hints. The nose unfurls a classic Cabernet profile — intense, clean, and refined, with spice notes of coffee, black pepper, liquorice, and tobacco against a backdrop of grass and hay. On the palate, forest berries, vanilla, and mineral aromas come together beautifully, with noticeable but mature tannins all in harmony with the wine's natural elegance.

The Finish
Long and mineral-driven, with a harmony and elegance that reflects the ambition and craft behind this wine.
