Gavi dei Gavi Etichetta Nera 2023 La Scolca Magnum 150 cl

Descrizione

History

Tenuta La Scolca was acquired between 1917 and 1919 by the great-grandfather of the current owner Giorgio Soldati, who today is firmly at the helm of the company together with his daughter Chiara Soldati. At the time of purchase the property was mostly covered by woods and wheat crops. The constant work and commitment of the family made it possible to radically transform the situation: the decision to plant Cortese vineyards in an area traditionally suited to the production of red grapes until that time was important. This gave rise to a type of wine, Gavi, destined for successful commercial success in the following years, of which Scolca can be considered the creator in certain respects, as it is the oldest company in the area, but also the most modern and innovator.

Tasting notes

Straw yellow color with greenish reflections. The nose is intense and persistent, with fruity and floral aromas that evolve over time. When tasted, a notable breadth and flavor is perceived, with a set of complex flavors that recall flint, and a final aftertaste of almond and walnut that surprises for its freshness.

Possible combinations

Excellent with seafood appetizers and grilled vegetables, roast chicken or scallops with lemon.
