2022 Querciabella - Mongrana (750ml)

A supple, sun-drenched Maremman red from one of Tuscany's most forward-thinking and environmentally committed estates, the Mongrana is Querciabella's biodynamic ambassador to the wild, rugged coast of southern Tuscany. Crafted from a classic Sangiovese-Merlot-Cabernet Sauvignon blend grown in the mineral-rich soils of the Maremma IGT zone, this is a wine of immediate charm and genuine depth — approachable and generous in its youth, yet with the structure and balance to reward a few years of patience. Deep ruby in the glass, the nose is warm and inviting — ripe black cherry, plum, dried herbs, tobacco, and a whisper of Mediterranean scrubland that speaks unmistakably of the Tuscan coast. On the palate it is medium-full bodied and beautifully integrated, with soft, polished tannins, lively acidity, and flavors of dark fruit, violets, leather, and a touch of mocha on the lingering finish. Produced under Querciabella's rigorous biodynamic and vegan farming philosophy — no animal products used at any stage of production — this is conscious winemaking that never sacrifices pleasure for principle. An outstanding everyday Tuscan red that punches well above its price.
