Back in April I wrote about the 2005 Mongrana from Querciabella, a new wine made in Tuscanny’s Maremma region by these venerable Chianti producers. The 2005 was their first vintage and they have since released their 2006.This edition is garnet colored with dark berry and oak aromas with an earthy underbrush character as well. Fruits come across as dark cherry, blackberry and possibly blueberry.
There’s actually quite a bit going on aromatically with this wine.
It’s a bit astringent and very dry on the taste and texture but it has a lush feel and a long finish.
This is a good wine and is still at an affordable price.
This particular bottle was $15 at Garnet on the Upper East Side although they may be out of stock at the moment.
Personally I think this is a good wine and I’m pleased that Querciabella has produced another solid QPR wine in its second vintage.
