92 / 100"A little oaky on first nose, the 2013 A Quo is a robust red blend based primarily on Montepulciano, Cabernet Sauvignon and Sangiovese. The quality of the primary fruit is succulent, plump and rich. So are the background aromas of cinnamon, vanilla bean and toasted almond. This was a good vintage across Tuscany. The finish is exceedingly rich and supple with firmly yielding tannins. Give this wine a year or two to find greater harmony in the bottle."

Tasting Notes
Montepeloso is situated, in Tuscany, in the low hills of the Maremma region, about 10km from the sea. Winemaker Fabio Chiarelotto strives for a pure expression on the region, which is unique and unlike their neighbour's in the Chianti zone, over the hills.
The wine is excellent in combination with steaks, beef carpaccio with sliced parmesan cheese, fresh vegetable salad.
