In the 16th century, Ludovico Ariosto had the knights of the House of Mongrana ride through fantastic landscapes in "Orlando Furioso" – adventurous, freedom-loving, always ready to set off. The hippogriff, the winged hybrid creature that crosses all borders, is the symbol of this epic. Querciabella has put both on the label of her Maremma project: the name, the animal, the attitude. Since 1997, Querciabella has been growing in Banditella near Alberese – directly on the Tuscan coast, where sea breezes, salty air and sandy soils characterise the Mediterranean character. Mongrana Rosso 2024 is made from seven grape varieties, including Merlot, Sangiovese, Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc, Syrah, Mourvèdre and Petit Verdot – all individually grown, individually harvested, individually fermented, then blended into what best expresses this vintage. No fixed recipe, no scheme. Just the decision of the year. 2024 in the Maremma: a wet spring nourished the soil, a warm, dry summer brought ripeness. Optimum phenolic and aromatic ripeness, balanced, fresh fruit. Fermentation in small cement and steel tanks.

Intense ruby red colour. Marasca cherry, blackberry, Mediterranean herbs on the nose – lively, direct. Juicy, balanced on the palate, with expressive fruit and a long, harmonious final. The wine to bring along if you don't know the taste of your hosts – and still get it right. SUPERIORE.DE
