90 POINTS-ROBERT PARKER - The 2008 A Quo presents a heady array of super-ripe blueberries, blackberries, cassis, minerals and spices that come together in a luxurious, exotic style. There is plenty of round, harmonious fruit to provide outstanding balance, polish and length. The wine continued to open up nicely in the glass, gaining even greater focus and clarity. At this price point I would be a buyer?.by the case. The 2008 A Quo is 30% Cabernet Sauvignon, 30% Montepulciano, 20% Sangiovese, 10% Marselan and 10% Alicante Bouschet made from yields of less than 40 hectoliters per hectare, which is pretty much unprecedented for a wine at this price point. Chiarellotto gives the A Quo four months in used French oak barrels. Anticipated maturity: 2010-2020.
