James Suckling
Dark cherries and strawberries with fresh sage and thyme aromas follow through to a medium body with fine tannins and a crunchy finish. Savory and delicious with lovely energy and drinkability. A blend of 45% sangiovese, 35% cabernet sauvignon, 10% malvasia and 10% other varieties. Precise and yummy.

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate
The Montepeloso 2024 A Quo is a blend of 45% Sangiovese, 35% Cabernet Sauvignon, 10% Malvasia Nera and 10% other complementary grapes, fermented in stainless steel and aged in second- and third-fill barrels. Lifted and energetic, the wine delivers bright fruit with touches of light spice and dried flowers, maintaining a lively, easygoing profile. Shaped by Suvereto’s coastal influence and mineral-driven soils, this bottling is intentionally primary and vibrant, engineered for immediate pleasure alongside a classic plate of spaghetti aglio e olio.
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.
