A beautiful blend of Cabernet Sauvignon, Montepulciano and Merlot, Pelago is a landmark wine for the Marche. It’s soft and lushness, with an underlying firmness. Flavors of rich chocolate and black cherry ride long on the finish. This wine can age for 5–10 more years, or it can be consumed now.

This is not one of those big, sticky and syrupy dessert wines. Instead, it is opulent and refined throughout
