In the 16th century, Ludovico Ariosto had the knights of the House of Mongrana ride through fantastical landscapes in Orlando Furioso – adventurous, freedom-loving, always ready to set off. The hippogriff, the winged hybrid creature that carries its riders beyond all boundaries, is the symbol of this epic. Querciabella has featured both on the label of its Maremma project: the name, the creature, the spirit. Since 1997, Querciabella has been cultivating vines in Banditella near Alberese – right on the Tuscan coast, where sea breezes, salty air and sandy soils shape the Mediterranean character of the wine. Mongrana Rosso 2024 is made from seven grape varieties, including Merlot, Sangiovese, Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc, Syrah, Mourvèdre and Petit Verdot – all grown separately, harvested separately, fermented separately, then blended to best express this vintage. No set formula, no fixed pattern. Just the decision of the year. 2024 in the Maremma: a wet spring nourished the soils, a warm, dry summer brought ripeness. Optimal phenolic and aromatic ripeness, balanced, fresh fruit. Fermentation in small concrete and steel tanks.

An intense ruby red. On the nose, Marasca cherry, blackberry and Mediterranean herbs – lively and direct. On the palate, it is juicy and well-balanced, with expressive fruit and a long, harmonious final. The wine you bring when you don't know your hosts' tastes – and still get it right. SUPERIORE.DE

"A sparkling ruby red with slightly lighter edges. On the nose, fully ripe raspberry and cherry, with hints of violet. On the palate, concentrated fruit, firm tannins, a lively acidity, and a juicy finish." Falstaff
