The Mongrana Bianco 2022 (SRP $16) - This is a fresh and fruity white wine made from a blend of 90% Vermentino and 10% Viognier. On the palate, Morgana Bianco brings a taste of tangy ripe fruits & aromatic herbs coupled with a sea breeze freshness. On the nose, it opens with notes of citrus and tangy fruit with a springtime hint of honeysuckle and jasmine.

Mongrana Bianco 2022 is the perfect sustainable wine to enjoy with your favorite vegan dishes.  Here are some great suggestions!

-A fresh spring salad! Salads don't have to be boring, pull together your favorite vegetables or fruits to bring out the fruity and fresh notes of the wine. Make a tangy and herb-filled dressing to compliment the slight hint of spice and herbs in the finish.

-If you want to add carbs, a light and refreshing quinoa pasta salad is sure to please the palate. Add some chickpeas, a light lemon-based dressing, and your favorite vegetables! The citrus notes in Mongrana Bianco will be brought to life by a simple lemon dressing, and the chickpeas and quinoa will balance the citrusy and lush finish with refreshing saline qualities.

-For dessert, try a vegan apricot tart! The notes of tangy summer fruits will pair perfectly with apricot and the creamy texture will be sure to blend well with Mongrana Bianco's finish.
