Montepeloso exists to articulate the Tuscan coast at its most precise and unadorned. Since 1999, Fabio Chiarelotto, a historian by training, has rebuilt the estate vine by vine in Suvereto, replanting by hand, tightening massal selections, and cutting yields until only the most vibrant fruit remains. The aim has never been volume or gloss, but clarity: wines that transmit site without interference.

Suvereto’s iron-rich, sun-struck hills provide raw material with natural tension, depth, and a savoury coastal edge. Chiarelotto’s discipline turns that material into wines that are powerful without excess and expressive without noise. Farming is exacting, cellar work restrained. Extraction is measured, élevage purposeful. Nothing is done for effect.

Eneo is the estate’s central voice. A blend of Sangiovese, Montepulciano, and Alicante, it delivers breadth and finesse through purity rather than force. The texture is silken, the drive mineral and dark, with layered aromatics of herbs, warm stone, and salt air. It’s a wine that moves calmly across the palate, carrying complexity without heaviness and finishing with quiet authority.

Gabbro is Montepeloso’s statement of intent. A pure Cabernet Sauvignon from exceptionally low yields, it has become a cult reference for those tracking Tuscany’s most serious reds. Dense yet poised, structured yet lifted, it shows what Suvereto can achieve when handled with absolute focus. This is Cabernet shaped by place, not polish, with a long horizon ahead of it.

Together, Eneo and Gabbro define Montepeloso’s philosophy: wines of clarity, restraint, and quiet power, rooted in one of coastal Tuscany’s most singular terroirs.
