Querciabella , Mongrana 2005
Made by the revered estate of Querciabella, this is delicious Tuscan blend of 50% Sangiovese and equal parts Cab and Merlot that impress anyone who loves Italian wines. When I first opened the bottle, I noticed it was quite low on aroma and showed a lot of acidity on the tongue. I hoped it would settle down and, after it had a chance to open up for a half-hour, it was really giving off some beautiful aromas of black fruits, spice, earth, and subtle vanilla, and was full, rich, and explosive in the mouth with a lingering, spicy finish. This is a great "food wine" from Tuscany from the acclaimed southern region called Maremma. The Maremma region is the same area that such Iconic Italian wines as Ornellaia and Sassicaia are produced. You can find this wine at Pete's in Bellevue for $14.
