Description
From vines planted at 350-600m above sea level in Greve in Chianti, the Batàr is full of flinty minerality, lime zest, tangerine, and jasmine. The palate is rich and creamy with distinct freshness and tension, and long pleasing notes of citrus and tropical notes on the finish. This wine will cellar beautifully over the next five years.
The name Querciabella is entirely appropriate to this estate in Chianti, which is surrounded by a sheltering forest of magnificent trees. Sebastiano Castiglioni is at the helm of one of the most innovative wineries in Italy, spearheading vegan and biodynamic practices in his two estates. Helped by the incredibly talented South African winemaker Manfred Ing, Querciabella are releasing not only some of the purest expressions of Chianti Classico but also venturing into Super-Tuscan territory with Camartina and Palafreno. Querciabella are also responsible for one of the most acclaimed Italian whites, Batàr, alongside a range of exciting Maremma wines.
Food Pairing: Wonderful with creamy truffle and mushroom pasta or sundried tomatoes and roasted root vegetables.
