Tasting notes
The 2012 Eneo reveals a deep sense of wholeness and oneness. Sangiovese is blended with Montepulciano, Marselan and Alicante Bouschet. That Sangiovese base gives this wine a bright core with good tension and moderate weight. Among Montepeloso's various wines, this one is lightest on its feet. It shows dexterity and nimbleness with fluid aromas and a silky mouthfeel. It briskly doles out a long succession of soft fruit flavors, dried cherry, plum, Indian spice and grilled herb.

The 2012 Eneo is striking. Fresh, nuanced and beautifully delineated in the glass, the 2012 possesses gorgeous energy and class. Sweet red cherries, plums, violets, tobacco, game and spices meld together effortlessly. This is one of the more understated Maremma wines readers will find in 2012. Sweet floral, game and pipe tobacco notes add aromatic intrigue on the close. Although the 2012 doesn't have the structure of the top wines in this range, the Eneo offers terrific freshness and aromatic complexity, especially within the context of the year. The Eneo was aged exclusively in neutral oak, which also helps preserve aromatic freshness.
