Batàr Toscana Bianco IGT
| Vintage | 2020 |
| Winemaker | Querciabella |
| Region | Tuscany |
| Grapes | 50% Chardonnay, 50% Pinot Bianco |
Winemaking
Bàtar is pressed from vines which are more than 30 years old in the municipality of Greve in Chianti. The vineyard is south-facing and characterised by clay, with some sandstone and slate. After selective hand picking, alcoholic and malolactic fermentation takes place in French barriques with regular Bâttonage (lees stirring). Ageing then takes place for 10-12 months in new barriques and some used barriques, followed by six months of maturation in a cement tank.
Our tasting note
Batàr is regarded as one of the best white wines in Tuscany, and is Querciabella's homage to Burgundy. The fine cuvée of Chardonnay and Pinot Bianco has a bright, straw yellow hue. The bouquet has ripe, fruity aromas of quince and pear, exotic notes of peach and a hint of roasted hazelnut. On the palate it has wonderful minerality, impressive fullness, a multi-faceted element and complex fruit aromas, and a lingering, intensive aftertaste. Undoubtedly one of Italy's really great white wines.

Arneis Roero San Michele DOCG
| Vintage | 2022 |
| Winemaker | Deltetto |
| Region | Piedmont |
| Grapes | 100% Arneis |
Winemaking
San Michele is the Deltetto flagship when it comes to white wines. One half of fermentation takes place in steel tanks and the other in wooden oak barrels. The subsequent maturing is carried out in the exact same way.
Our tasting note
The Arneis San Michele has a straw-yellow colour and flavours of exotic fruits, apples as well as a hint of vanilla resulting from the maturing in wooden barrels. The maturing in wood barrels also subtly gives the Arneis a wide spectrum of flavours and a greater depth of taste.

Beyond the Clouds DOC
| Vintage | 2021 |
| Winemaker | Elena Walch |
| Region | South Tyrol |
| Grapes | 80% Chardonnay, 20% Diverse Trauben |
Winemaking
As soon as the Chardonnay is at the peak of its ripeness, the different classic vine types are harvested. The particular thing about the vinification is the joint pressing of the grapes and fermenting them in French barriques. Following fermentation, they are then stirred weekly for 3 months (battonage). Following 10 months of maturing in barriques, the wine is stored for at least 6 months in bottles.
Our tasting note
A brilliant and intensive yellow characterises the white cuvée wine Beyond the Clouds. This wine has a nose of exotic fruits, as well as a soft richness in combination with fantastic freshness. A fantastically delicious cuvée with good ripening potential. Perfect barrique maturing, without dominating the subtle fruit aromas.
Suitable with

Chardonnay Educato DOC
| Vintage | 2022 |
| Winemaker | Elio Grasso |
| Region | Piedmont |
| Grapes | 100% Chardonnay |
Winemaking
The vines for the Chardonnay Educato were planted in the upper most area of the vineyard in 1985, and are therefore in the coolest locations of the Grassos winegrowing area. 50% of fermentation and maturation takes place in barrels, and the other 50% in stainless steel tanks.
Our tasting note
The aroma is amazingly fruity and exotic for a Chardonnay. Green fruit elements of apple and pear as well as exotic notes of apricot, pineapple and white peach. On the palate, the wine presents itself as somewhat dry with juicy, creamy aromas of yellow fruits. The crisp acidity ensures that you can't wait for the next sip. Harmonic, long finish.

Rossj-Bass Langhe DOP
| Vintage | 2022 |
| Winemaker | Gaja |
| Region | Piedmont |
| Grapes | 95% Chardonnay, 5% Sauvignon Blanc |
Winemaking
Fermentation is carried out over 4 weeks at a controlled temperature of between 16 and 18 °C in steel tanks. The Rossj-Bass then matures for 6 to 7 months in slightly used barriques.
Our tasting note
The Rossj-Bass has a fine floral aroma with a hint of citrus fruit and light notes of honey. It has a remarkable depth of taste, and is very elegant on the pallet with a robust body and pleasant freshness. Mineral, full-bodied finish. Very good storage suitability.

Our tasting note
The fine cuvées from Vermentino, Viognier and Fiano invoke thoughts of the rich aromas of Bolgheri. Attractive aromatic nose of ripe fruits, blossoms and a hint of sweet honey. Full-bodied and expressive on the pallet, the wine combines floral and fruity taste nuances with the complexity and minerality of the barrique ageing.
