What kind of wine is Toscana Bianco IGT “Batàr” 2022 - Querciabella

The Toscana Bianco IGT “Batàr” 2022 - Querciabella is the winery’s flagship white wine, an elegant expression of the most refined Tuscany. It is made from an equal blend of Chardonnay and Pinot Bianco, two international grape varieties that find an extraordinarily suitable terroir in the Chianti Classico hills. The result is a structured white wine with extraordinary freshness, a broad and complex aromatic profile, where fruity and mineral notes blend in perfect balance.

Vintage Details

The 2022 vintage in Tuscany was characterized by warm and dry weather, but with good temperature variations between day and night in the hilly areas of Greve in Chianti. These conditions favored healthy and perfectly ripe grapes, capable of giving Batàr a beautiful aromatic concentration and a natural freshness that balances the body of the wine.

Winemaking and Aging

The Chardonnay and Pinot Bianco grapes are vinified separately, with fermentation in French oak barriques. Subsequently, each wine undergoes malolactic fermentation – a process that softens acidity, making the sip rounder – before resting for 9-12 months, also in wood. After aging, the two wines are blended and left to evolve further in the bottle, until they reach the perfect balance between structure and freshness.
