A Biodynamically farmed Maremma wine that over-delivers in a major way.

A roller coaster ride or tug of war between cab and Sangiovese, it seems. At times, it seems big and jammy and nondescript. But then this nice, edgy, rustic quality would poke out. Good acid. Definitely a crowd pleaser, but I need to drink more to formulate an opinion.

The only wine made from Montepeloso in 2017, all the top fruit was used for the level A Quo and with a triumphing result and plenty of revenue for a modest investment. Ripe yet fresh red and black fruit with an underlying freshness, floral aromas and a dimensional complexity brought by toast, spice, warm rocks and a savory meatiness. Expanding fruit on the palate in casing of fresh acidity and a solid yet soft grip from the ripe tannins. Offensive yet integrated alcohol and balanced act throughout the finish. Quite unusual blend 30% Montepulciano, 30% Cabernet Sauvignon, 20 %Sangiovese, 10% Marselan, 10% Alicante

The 2017 A Quo is the only wine Montepeloso bottled in a brutal, challenging vintage in which dehydration took with it 40% of the potential crop. All of the best fruit went into the entry-level A Quo, which is positively stellar in 2017. Red cherry jam, mint, cedar and wild flowers are all wonderfully fused together in a sumptuous, racy Bolgheri red that punches well above its weight. (Antonio Galloni, Vinous, March 2020)

Another winning entry level bottling by Montepeloso, bursting with cherry fruit, dried flowers and lifted by fresh acidity.

For the price it's hard to beat - a "super" Tuscan. Great mix of fruit, leather and earth with big creamy oak character.
