Querciabella - 2020 - Batar - 750 ml.

Country: Italy Region: Tuscany Varietal: Pinot BiancoVintage: 2020 - Size: 750 ml. - Type: WhiteBatàr shines in the glass, with its bright yellow core and golden hues. The bouquet is broad and fragrant, with acacia flowers, chamomile, peach, yellow plum and melon interlaced with buttery aromas, sweet spices, saffron, and cedar wood. A flinty, mineral quality adds precision to the intricate frame. On the palate, the wine is voluptuous yet elegant, showing great finesse and intense aromatic persistence. The mouthfeel is balanced and lifted.Expert NotesRobert Parker: 93I have not tasted this wine in a while, and it's a delight to come back to it now. Compared to older vintages, I find this blend of equal parts Pinot Bianco and Chardonnay to be quite improved. The organic 2020 Batàr (with 20,000 bottles made) offers fresh, citrusy tones with lemon curd and candied peach. This barrique-aged white also offers mid-weight density and plenty of orchard fruit, saffron and light spice. It concludes with fresh acidity.James Suckling: 94Intense nose of cedar, smoked almond, mango puree, papaya and lemon pie. Full-bodied, dense and creamy with delicious praline and pie-crust character, balanced by just the right amount of lemony acidity.
