Lots of crunchy and delicious fruit with dark plum and crushed stone character. It’s medium-bodied, open and bright. A blend of sangiovese and cabernet sauvignon.

The 2023 A Quo is a very pretty and delicious entry-level offering from proprietor Fabio Chiarelotto. Crushed berries, flowers, orange peel and spice lend notable freshness, but it is the wine’s effusive charm that wins the day. There’s so much to like here.
Legendary in Italy for its Renaissance art and striking landscape, Tuscany is also home to many of the country’s best red wines. Sangiovese reigns supreme here, as either the single varietal, or a dominant player, in almost all of Tuscany’s best.
A remarkable Chianti, named for its region of origin, will have a bright acidity, supple tannins and plenty of cherry fruit character. From the hills and valleys surrounding the medieval village of Montalcino, come the distinguished and age-worthy wines based on Brunello (Sangiovese). Earning global acclaim since the 1970s, the Tuscan Blends are composed solely of international grape varieties or a mix of international and Sangiovese. The wine called Vine Nobile di Montepulciano, composed of Prognolo Gentile (Sangiovese) and is recognized both for finesse and power.
