2021 | La Scolca | Gavi dei Gavi

A superbly made example of the very popular and highly versatile wine made from the Cortese grape. The nose is classic with its aromas of zesty citrus, white peach and blossom. The palate is light and fresh with bright acidity and a subtly savoury and nutty finish.

Reviews:

• James Suckling: Jasmine, lemons, white peaches, pears and stones on the nose. Fresh and tangy with a light to medium body. Mineral and refreshing.

Producer Information

La Scolca, a hundred-year-old winery, is situated in the Gavi region of Alessandria province, dotted by the Apennine Mountains. Today, the winery is equipped with modern machinery, handled by expert winemakers, that allows the production of great wines under Gavi DOCG status. Due to its high-end wines, the winery was chosen to toast at the World Economic Forum in Davos, an important meeting attended by the world’s great leaders.The La Scolca Winery was bought by the great-grandfather of Giorgio Soldati, a present owner, in the late 1920s. Today, along with his daughter, Chiara Soldati, the fifth generation is managing the functionality of the winery with great passion and dedication. During the time of purchase, the land was surrounded by forest, and some part of the estate was cultivated with wheat. Even in the 1900s, the property was best suited to grow vines, and since then, the Soldati family has been cultivating fruity Cortese vines in their vineyards.
