Inky ruby red tinged with purple hints. The nose unfurls a typical Cabernet profile of intense, clean, refined spice notes of coffee, black pepper, liquorice and tobacco against a backdrop of grass and hay. The mouth unfurls forest berries, vanilla and mineral aromas, and noticeable but mature tannins all in harmony with the wine’s elegance.
The Umani Ronchi 2014 Pelago is a blend of 50% Montepulciano, 40% Cabernet Sauvignon and 10% Merlot, and the first year of production of this local favorite was 1994. In fact, this bottling celebrates the wine's 20th anniversary. There is plenty of power and richness here despite the rather weaker and cooler vintage. The wine's fiber is dense and generous, and the bouquet is similarly loaded with dark fruit, smoke, tar and tobacco. It's another great steak wine from Umani Ronchi. Some 9,800 bottles, 180 magnums and 20 Jeroboams were produced.
This shows some fine herbs, capsicum and blackcurrant purée. Medium body, fine tannins and a fresh finish. Drink now.
