Fermented and aged in French oak barrels, this wine is distinguished by a \u003cstrong\u003ebroad and complex structure\u003c\/strong\u003e, balanced by a vibrant freshness and a marked savouriness that coats the palate with a clear creamy texture. The aromatic profile opens with notes of freshly mown wheat, propolis, honey and broom flowers, enriched by hints of yellow plum and quince jam. The long finish offers elegant \u003cstrong\u003espicy nuances of saffron\u003c\/strong\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eProvenance\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe grapes come from \u003cstrong\u003ehigh-altitude vineyards\u003c\/strong\u003e located on the Ruffoli ridge in Greve in Chianti. The exposure is meticulously studied: the south-facing slopes host the Chardonnay, while the cooler plots to the north, near the cellar, are dedicated to Pinot Bianco. The soils present a rich geological variety with a \u003cstrong\u003epredominance of galestro\u003c\/strong\u003e, combined with clay and schist in the northern areas and sandstone at higher altitudes. This precise mapping, managed according to a rigorous \u003cstrong\u003ebiodynamic agricultural approach\u003c\/strong\u003e, gives the wine a deep mineral complexity.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eProduction process\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe hand-picked grapes undergo a gentle pressing to slowly extract the juice. Alcoholic fermentation and complete malolactic fermentation take place in \u003cstrong\u003ebarrels\u003c\/strong\u003e. The wine rests on the fine lees with \u003cstrong\u003eweekly bâtonnage\u003c\/strong\u003e, gaining volume and texture. Ageing continues for between nine and twelve months in \u003cstrong\u003eFrench oak barrels\u003c\/strong\u003e, partly new, originating from Tronçais, Vosges and Allier. Finally, \u003cstrong\u003esix months of bottle ageing\u003c\/strong\u003e harmonises the wine's structural profile.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHistory and Curiosities\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOriginally born as Bâtard-Pinot, the iconic \u003cstrong\u003eBatàr di Querciabella\u003c\/strong\u003e took on its current name in 1995 to distinguish itself from the classic wines of Burgundy and celebrate the union between Chardonnay and Pinot Bianco. This multi-award-winning Tuscan champion embodies a pioneering vision, founded on \u003cstrong\u003eorganic and biodynamic cultivation\u003c\/strong\u003e introduced as far back as 1988. Since 2010, ageing in new wood has been masterfully reduced to enhance its vibrant freshness.
