Description
La Scolca is a renowned producer of Gavi di Gavi, a white wine made from the Cortese grape variety. The Black Label is their flagship wine, made from the best grapes of their estate vineyards. The history of La Scolca dates back to the early 1900s, when the founder, Giorgio Soldati, began producing wine in the Gavi region of Piedmont. The winery has been passed down through four generations of the Soldati family, and today it is run by Giorgio's great-granddaughter, Chiara Soldati.
The production of Gavi di Gavi is highly regulated, with strict rules governing the grape variety, yield, and winemaking techniques. La Scolca adheres to these regulations, and also employs their own unique methods to produce a wine that is both traditional and innovative. The grapes for the Black Label are hand-harvested and carefully selected, then fermented in stainless steel tanks at controlled temperatures. The wine is aged on its lees for several months, which gives it a rich, creamy texture and complex aromas and flavors.
The result is a wine that is pale straw in color, with aromas of white flowers, citrus, and mineral notes. On the palate, it is crisp and refreshing, with flavors of green apple, pear, and a hint of almond. The finish is long and elegant, with a subtle minerality that is characteristic of Gavi di Gavi.
La Scolca's Black Label is a wine that is both versatile and food-friendly. It pairs well with a wide range of dishes, from seafood and shellfish to pasta and risotto. It is also a great wine to enjoy on its own, as an aperitif or with friends.
Overall, La Scolca's Black Label is a wine that embodies the history and tradition of Gavi di Gavi, while also showcasing the innovation and creativity of the Soldati family. It is a wine that is sure to impress both wine enthusiasts and novices alike, and is a must-try for anyone looking to explore the world of Italian white wines.
