It displays a bright pale gold colour and a broad, complex aromatic profile. Notes of freshly cut wheat, propolis, honey and broom flowers emerge, interwoven with delicate nuances of laburnum and pittosporum. The fruit expresses itself with hints of yellow plum and quince jam. On the palate, it reveals an immense \u003cstrong\u003eenveloping savouriness\u003c\/strong\u003e, balanced by a \u003cstrong\u003ecreamy texture\u003c\/strong\u003e that defines its structure. The finish closes with persistent \u003cstrong\u003esaffron notes\u003c\/strong\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhere it comes from\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eIt originates from high-altitude vineyards situated on the ridge of Ruffoli, in Greve in Chianti. The soils are characterised by a predominance of galestro, with carefully studied exposures: the south-facing slopes host the Chardonnay, while the \u003cstrong\u003ecooler plots\u003c\/strong\u003e to the north, rich in clay and schist, are home to the Pinot Blanc. In the higher areas, the presence of sandstone is also notable. This \u003cstrong\u003evaried terroir\u003c\/strong\u003e, combined with rigorous \u003cstrong\u003ebiodynamic agriculture\u003c\/strong\u003e, gives the wine its typical freshness and a pronounced mineral complexity, defining its intricate gustatory tension.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eHow it is produced\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eAfter meticulous manual harvesting, the juice is slowly extracted through pressing. Both alcoholic and complete malolactic fermentations take place in wood. The wine matures on fine lees accompanied by constant \u003cstrong\u003eweekly bâtonnage\u003c\/strong\u003e. Ageing continues for nine to twelve months in \u003cstrong\u003eFrench oak barrels\u003c\/strong\u003e from the forests of Tronçais, Vosges and Allier, partly new. This elegant \u003cstrong\u003ewhite blend\u003c\/strong\u003e then rests for a further six months before release, achieving perfect and balanced structural harmony.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHistory and Curiosities\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOriginally born as Bâtard-Pinot, the prestigious \u003cstrong\u003eQuerciabella Batàr\u003c\/strong\u003e adopted its current name in 1995 to distinguish itself from Burgundy denominations, celebrating the perfect union between Chardonnay and Pinot Blanc. This renowned Tuscan label represents absolute excellence, the result of pioneering \u003cstrong\u003eorganic cultivation\u003c\/strong\u003e begun in 1988 and entirely dedicated to \u003cstrong\u003ebiodynamic practices\u003c\/strong\u003e. A wine of timeless elegance, awarded multiple times by international critics, it enchants the palate as a truly unmissable masterpiece.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Querciabella","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47733037105323,"sku":"62476","price":102.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/www.xtrawine.com\/en-se\/products\/querciabella-batar-2023","provider":"Xtrawine","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
