Overview of the Wine
Founded in 1974, Querciabella enjoys the acclaim of the world’s most discriminating critics and consumers for wines such as Camartina, Batàr, Palafreno and Querciabella Chianti Classico. In its uncompromising pursuit of quality, sustainability and authenticity, Querciabella has continually honed its approach to biodynamic viticulture for over a decade. With vineyards located throughout Tuscany’s Chianti Classico and Maremma areas, Querciabella exemplifies the mindful preservation of tradition through forward-thinking, albeit completely natural winemaking.
Querciabella’s Chianti Classico represents the pinnacle of high-altitude, perfectly exposed Sangiovese fruit. A beautiful balancing act of crisp, inviting acidity, pure varietal fruit flavor and character deriving from sourcing the grapes from top sites in three of the the denomination’s best sub-zones. A wine and food lovers’ delight.

Winemakers' Tasting Notes
Without a doubt, Batàr is one of Italy’s iconic white wines. Its unrivalled textural beauty and vibrant minerality reveal gracefully over time. It opens with lemon zest, tangerine, and floral notes, accompanied by creamy undertones that give way to mineral hints and subtle salinity. The palate balances smooth texture with fresh acidity, offering flavours of pear, almond, saffron, and a touch of ginger spice that lingers in the fragrant and refreshing aftertaste.
Batàr 2022 really shines when paired with creamy sauces. Its slightly nutty aroma is beautifully complemented by spices like saffron, cinnamon, and ginger, along with herbs such as thyme and tarragon. As the wine matures, its flavors evolve and deepen with umami notes, making it an exceptional match for sautéed or roasted mushrooms, truffles, sun-dried tomatoes, and roasted root vegetables like squash, parsnips, and turnips.
92 Points - Vinous
The 2022 Batàr is airy, fresh, and nuanced. Hints of tangerine oil, mint, lemon peel, almond, and dried flowers are all nicely lifted in this aromatic, refreshing white. The style continues to move in the direction of energy and vibrancy. These days, there's minimal lees-stirring and just a hint of new oak, a response to changing climate conditions and stylistic preferences. This is beautifully done and also quite expressive, especially for a wine that was just bottled.
