Querciabella 22 Mongrana 750ml

The Pure Heart of Maremma
Mongrana is perhaps the most "charming" red in the Querciabella portfolio. By eschewing oak aging in favor of stainless steel and cement, the estate allows the pure fruit of the Maremma coast to shine. This 2022 vintage is a vibrant, mid-bodied red that balances the bright acidity of Sangiovese with the plump, velvety fruit of Merlot and the noble structure of Cabernet Sauvignon. It is a wine of effortless elegance and remarkable purity.

Appearance - Deep ruby with purple glints.
Nose - An inviting explosion of fresh red cherries, dark plums, and blackberries. As it sits in the glass, it reveals delicate notes of leather, coffee bean, and the classic "Macchia Mediterranea" (wild rosemary and myrtle).
Palate - Forward and juicy. The tannins are soft and "sweet," making for a seamless mouthfeel. Flavors of ripe forest berries are balanced by a refreshing mineral streak and a clean, savory finish.
Pairings - Seared Maguro, Butabara, Iberico Pork with Yuzu, Beef Teriyaki.
Service - Serve at 15–16°C. Because there is no oak influence, serving it slightly cooler than a typical red highlights its refreshing, fruity nature.
