Batar Querciabella 2020

Querciabella Batàr 2020 is a full-bodied blended white wine produced from Chardonnay and Pinot Blanc grapes in the Tuscany region of central Italy. One of the iconic white wines of Italy, Querciabella`s Batàr cuvée has been described by veteran wine writer Hugh Johnson as "a dream of a white". A barrel-fermented 50/50 blend of Chardonnay and Pinot Bianco, this is a wine that is drinking well now but has great ageing potential. "Brilliant straw. A gorgeous, layered, sweet peach and fragrant oak nose and with just a hint of hazelnut. Creamy and a little rich on the palate and gaining enormously in depth on the finish with salty minerally notes. Fantastic focus and length. Already irresistible but I wouldn’t open this for at least another two to three years." Walter Speller, 2023
