A white Italian lineup brings festive feels.
Querciabella Batàr Toscana IGT 2014
In the mood for a white Super Tuscan? The Batàr was first made in 1988 as an organic wine from the Ruffoli vineyards, and fully converted to biodynamic in 2000. Given its detailed Burgundian-style winemaking, it expresses immense complexity of layered fruit and phenolic textures with creamy melon, lively zest and a long toasty finish. The blend is 50% Chardonnay and 50% Pinot Bianco, which matures in the same barriques on lees for nine months, with weekly battonage. $132.68 from richfieldbrands.com
