Mongrana immediately captivates with its vibrant aromas of ripe fruit—morello cherry, blackberry, and blueberry—that leap from the glass. These fresh fruit notes are complemented by a complex bouquet of kirsch, ivy, pine needles, and a subtle touch of liquorice, reflecting the unique Mediterranean influence of the region. On the palate, Mongrana offers a juicy, refreshing sip with soft, well-integrated tannins. The finish is long and savoury, with a persistent mineral note that lingers.

Description
Querciabella in Maremma is ideally located along the coast of Tuscany, just south of Grosseto, and is sheltered from the harsher sea weather by the Uccellina Hills. The Mistral winds that sweep across the vineyards help moderate even the hottest summer temperatures, while the loamy soils, a mix of sand, silt, and clay, offer an ideal balance of drainage and water-holding capacity, ensuring a balanced environment for the vines.
The estate spans 41.5 hectares across three plots, including the original Banditella 1 (20 ha), acquired in 1997, and Banditella 3 (16 ha), purchased in 2002. In 2023, Querciabella expanded with the acquisition of Vallemaggiore (5.4 ha), a plot that has been newly planted with Vermentino, Syrah, Grenache, Viognier, and Mourvèdre. At Banditella, the vineyards are situated at altitudes ranging from 20 to 50 meters above sea level, with a predominantly north-south orientation. The Guyot training system is used, ensuring optimal vine structure and fruit production. The soils here are slightly acidic and mineral-rich, with gravel and surface pebbles present throughout. Vallemaggiore, at an elevation of 95 meters above sea level, is planted in soils rich in clay and marls with a significant presence of rocks. The ancient settonce method of vine training is employed here, optimizing root system efficiency, sun exposure, and air circulation.
