Few white wines are gushed over in poetic eloquence like the Batàr. This wine is described by critics and wine enthusiasts as not so much a ferment but an experience of pure balance of fruit and oak held together by sublime winemaking. It all began as a though in Querciabella owner Sebastiano's mind to craft a wine that could stand up to Bâtard-Montrachet, that revered Burgundy appellation with the steeped track record for making great barrel aged Chardonnay. And Querciabella has achieved that with this white wine blend of Chardonnay and Pinot Bianco biodynamically produced in the heart of red wine appellation Chianti Classico. The white Super Tuscan is barrel fermented and aged for 9 months in French oak. Respected wine critic Hugh Johnson has rightly compared Batar to Burgundy Grand Cru. Some avowed lovers of this vinous beauty go much further.
