Querciabella Mongrana 2016
DOZEN: $367.20 or $30.60 each
Querciabella's 2016 Mongrana, the entry-level wine in this range, is gracious and very pretty, with lovely floral and red berry character. This Sangiovese-based Maremma red blend has so much to offer. I would prefer to drink it young, while the fruit remains vibrant. Best of all the 2016 is a superb value for an estate wine. In 2016, Querciabella did not bottle Turpino, their top Maremma red, but instead blended it in here, where it represents about 10% of the wine. ANTONIO GALLONI
The 2016 Mongana is touch fresher and more vibrant then the 2015 and its all the better for it. The Sangiovese still pushes through with it rusty, red cherry and speckled herbal notes. A nice mix of black and red fruits provided by the supple blend of Merlot and Cabernet. Mid-weight in style that carries itself elegantly but still feels in charge. No shrinking flower here but certainly not a brut either. Perfectly poised and beautifully balanced with the combo of French varietals and Sangiovese wonderfully played out. PWS
