Local Delivery, Store Pickup, Standard Domestic Shipping


$23.75

Intense ruby red in the glass, the charm of Mongrana does not take long to reveal itself. Well-defined aromas of ripe fruit, morello cherry, blackberry and blueberry especially anticipate notes of kirsch, ivy, pine needles.

As soon as the wine opens up in the glass, a more complex bouquet starts to emerge with slight hints of leather, coffee powder and cocoa enriched by a touch of liquorice. Juicy, fresh sip, with soft tannins. The long finale is savoury with mineral, iron notes that persist in the mouth.

Description

The vintage 2019 started with another mild winter followed by a wet spring that posed some challenges in the vineyards; however, flowering and fruit set went well, anticipating a phenomenal harvest both in quality and quantity. The first week of May saw the temperatures soar, and this heat continued through the Summer. It may have been torrid at times, but there were no problems with drought stress thanks to the abundant water reserves after the Spring rains. September brought the desired day/night temperature differences, and the weather stayed fine and stable well into the harvest period. Excellent phenolic ripeness, achieved with beautiful skin to pulp ratios and abundant quantity, raise expectations for a great 2019.

Food Pairing

This fruit-forward wine has present, yet soft tannins that make it easy to drink. Think of Mongrana as the wine you bring to a party when you don’t know the host’s taste. Its energetic personality is perfect for your Tuesday night Pizza Margherita with vegan Mozzarella and fresh Basil.

The Mediterranean feel and flavour of this wine lend itself to the herbs of the region like Oregano and Thyme. sprinkled over a Zucchini Tian or a Panzanella Salad. If you fancy something heartier try it with Chickpea Soup with Farro and Porcini Mushrooms.

Winemaking

From the onset, each grape variety is treated separately, from picking the best bunches of Sangiovese, Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon according to their phenolic ripeness, through the whole vinification process up until the final blend. We harvest in the early hours of the morning when cooler temperatures help preserve the aromatic complexity of the grapes. Alcoholic fermentation is initiated by indigenous yeasts and is carefully overseen by our winemaker. Extended skin-contact maceration for up to 21 days with daily pump-overs allows for gentle extraction.

Once the malolactic fermentation is complete, the wine is racked to cement vats, where it matures for at least ten months until it is ready to be blended and bottled.
