La Scolca Etichetta Bianco Gavi 2021

Cellar for up to 5 years. Serve chilled.

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.
