Winemaking Notes: A Quo is Montepeloso’s fresh high-flier red wine. Made using grapes from the more recent estate plantings (six to twelve years), A Quo showcases Montepeloso’s special terroir while also being accessible in its youth. It ferments in large steel tanks and ages for seven months in barrels (15% new) of various sizes. The wine ages for four months in bottle before release. 

Tasting Notes: A Quo is the young and juicier wine in the Montepeloso lineup; it's balanced, detailed, and ready to rock. The nose is dominated by dark red fruit and herbs intermixed with spicy aromas and mineral notes. There is nice tension and texture on the palate.

    The 2021 A Quo is a fabulous introduction to these wines. Bright, punchy and vibrant, the 2021 offers up an exciting mix of red fruit, blood orange, rose petal, mint and cinnamon. Montepeloso's entry-level estate offering is a winner.
