2021 La Scolca Gavi dei Gavi Black Label Gold Limited Edition

The name La Scolca comes from the name “Sfurca” which means viewpoint. In the past there was a farm on the land of La Scolca that served as a lookout. The name La Scolca is synonymous worldwide with Gavi, a superior dry white wine from Piedmont. In the period 1917-1919 the estate came into the possession of the Soldati family. Today it is Giorgio Soldati who runs the domain together with his daughter Chiara, already the fifth generation. This makes La Scolca the oldest wine company in the region that is still run by one and the same family. The wines of La Scolca are internationally acclaimed by many stars and the Gavi dei Gavi “Black Label” is even Queen Elizabeth's house wine.

In the glass, this Gavi Black Label from La Scola is pale yellow. In the nose we smell intense fruity and floral notes. The minerality is blown out of the glass. In the mouth we taste a medium bodied wine. Fresh with a wonderful acidity with notes of almonds and hazelnut. The wine is very elegant. This is of course a beautiful wine with fish, paella and oysters, but in our opinion it is also a nice 'enjoy wine' with a good conversation.
