La Scolca has been in the hands of the same family since 1917 when the great-grandfather of current owner Giorgio Soldati purchased the estate. The winery is rightfully famous across the world for its benchmark Gavi wines like this stunning “Etichetta Bianco” or “White Label”. Made in a traditional style, this youthful and exuberant white wine is made with top quality Cortese grapes from the steep slopes of the so-called “Grand Cru” of Gavi, Rovereto.

The grapes are carefully harvested by hand and then vinified according to typical local practices in temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks to preserve freshness and the typical aromatics of the grape variety. The wine is then allowed to settle over the winter, spending 4-5 months ageing on the lees to add complexity and a creamier texture before being bottled in February.

The result is a crisp, mouthwateringly refreshing white wine which is bursting with delicate citrus, honeysuckle and white blossom notes. The first sip reveals a light body, bright streak of acidity and a pure, clean finish. Ideal for serving with summer salads, fresh seafood or sushi, creamy chicken and fish dishes or even a generous platter of cheeses.

La Scolca’s Gavi dei Gavi is widely regarded as the benchmark for the fresh and exuberant white wines which hail from the namesake small mountain village in the Apennines. Produced in a traditional style from 100% Cortese, La Scolca’s “Black Label” wine is crafted from top quality fruit rigorously selected from biodynamically-farmed 60-year old vineyards.

In the winery the grapes are carefully sorted to ensure only the best are used for the Black Label Gavi dei Gavi. The must is partially macerated with the skins to add extra complexity and is also aged on the lees over the winter. These traditional methods help to create a Gavi dei Gavi which is both easy-drinking and bursting with attractive aromatics.

On the nose there are delicate hints of almonds, toast, and ripe white peaches while the first sip reveals a crisp acidity, touches of minerality, and a very long finish. As well as making a perfect aperitif, this outstanding Gavi dei Gavi pairs very well with all types of seafood, leafy salads, and light fish dishes. The complexity and grace of this delicious white are a testimony to La Scolca’s 100 year history of making top quality Gavi wines.

The producer is Broglia which is well known for its deliciously fresh and crisp wines made in the classic Gavi style. Vines have been planted on the property at least as far back as 972 AD, although the current chapter in the estate’s history can be dated to 1972 when it was purchased by Bruno Broglia. Over time Broglia became a family business with Bruno’s sons, Paolo and Piero, following in their father’s footsteps.

The family’s vineyards are located in the finest area for producing Gavi, meaning they are permitted to use the coveted “Gavi di Gavi” label. This bottling was first produced in 1989 to celebrate the birth of Piero’s son, Filippo, and has become one of the family’s favourites. The wine is fermented and aged in stainless steel tanks as is traditional for Gavi, helping to preserve the typicity of the grape and the character of the terroir.

Villa Sparina is a family-run winery which is owned by the Moccagattas who serve their delicious wines in their Michelin-starred restaurant La Gallina on the property. In total the estate has 100 hectares of land with 70 hectares given over to viticulture and mainly planted with Cortese and Barbera grapes. One unique feature of their wines is the unusual bottle shape which was inspired by original Roman amphorae used to transport wine and other goods.

Their Gavi di Gavi is the Moccagattas’ most iconic wine and expresses the exceptional quality of the estate’s prime vineyards. The grapes are fermented in stainless steel tanks to showcase the purity and freshness of the Cortese grape and allowed to rest for a few months before bottling.

Hints of honeysuckle, orchard fruits, and citrus zest define the nose while the first sip displays a mouthwatering acidity, light body and pure, clean finish.
