La Scolca Gavi dei Gavi d'Antan 2009

La Scolca d’Antan 2009 obtained 96+ points from The Wine Journal.

Rare wine, to be sipped slowly, as well as it's obtained, after ten years in our cellar. Only in the best vintages, only from best grapes, La Scolca obtains this special and unique wine. The long experience and the mastership learnt in hundred years of winemaking, allow this wine an intense harmony of perfumes and tastes coming from the past, like in the Proust's "Recherche".

La Scolca is the first estate to bottle Gavi del Comune di Gavi. Gavi dei Gavi(R) established a new level of quality in Italian white wines. The name was trademarked in 1966. Family run since 1919, 5th generation winemaker, Chiara Soldati is now the face of the estate and a respected "woman in wine." La Scolca is made with 100% estate-grown fruit on 50 HA of Cortese vineyards in Rovereto and 3HA of Pinot Nero vineyards in Monferrato. The wine is made with high-density plantings, low yields,\n \n \n green harvests, hand-harvested fruit, modern temperature-controlled facilities, natural yeasts, and no sulfites.\n \nView More
