It begins in early September for Merlot, continues at the end of the same month with Cabernet Sauvignon and ends with Montepulciano, a rather late grape variety, in the second decade of October, when the grapes have reached an excellent and advanced degree of phenolic ripeness

After bottling, Pelago refines further, in a temperature controlled environment, for about 12 months

Winemaker's notes
With an impenetrable ruby red color with purple reflections
The nose releases intense, clean and refined aromas: spicy fragrances of coffee, black pepper, licorice and tobacco open on grass and hay background typical of Cabernet
In the mouth the impact is of berries, vanilla and mineral aromas; important but evolved tannins with gustatory sensations in harmony with its great body

Pairings: it goes perfectly with red meats, feathered game and aged cheeses. Ideal serving temperature 18-20 ° C.

Serving glass : large glass, with a rather large body to allow the right oxygenation of red wines, long aged in the bottle and with tannins that have already taken on a softer character, developing complex and tertiary aromas, which will be well concentrated in the narrower aperture
