Mongrana in Maremma
Mongrana in Maremma 2009
Wine Enthusiast - Monica Larner - May 2012
90 Points Editors' Choice "This is a terrific super Tuscan blend (of 50% Sangiovese with equal parts Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon) that drinks beautifully. Bright red fruit and cherry give the wine a lively, cheerful personality and the wine’s structure is perfectly balanced and smooth. It’s a one-size-fits-all wine for our favorite Italian foods."

Wine Review Online - Michael Franz - February 23, 2010
90 Points "It shows admirable concentration and depth of flavor, but also a lot of finesse, as the fruit is fully ripe but still very fresh and pure. Red and black fruit notes are very nicely intertwined with the wine’s acidity and tannin, and oak notes are virtually undetectable, emphasizing the sense of purity that is the wine’s most prominent characteristic."

Dallas Morning News - Rebecca Murphy - January 16, 2008
Wine of the Week "This is Querciabella's first release from its Maremma estate, and a fine effort it is...a beautiful expression of the carefully tended fruit. Enjoy the spicy black cherry, cassis fruit bolstered with trademark Tuscan sangiovese acidity and dusty tannins with a meaty lasagna."
San Francisco Chronicle - Jon Bonné - December 21, 2007
Recommended "Half Sangiovese, with the rest comprising Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot, produced by one of the best names in Chianti Classico from its new property in the Maremma near the southern Tuscan coast. A bit rustic at first, with some lingering barnyard hints, but a bit of time - better yet, a brief decanting while you peek under the Christmas tree - smooths it out. Dusty, ribboned cherry, gripping berry and plum, plus licorice and balsam highlights, emerge from the earthy base. Drying tannins give it gusto."
