La Scolca White Label Gavi del Commune di Gavi 2024
La Scolca’s Etichetta Bianca (White Label) Gavi del Commune di Gavi represents the historic soul of this pioneering estate. Sourced from mature vines within the prestigious Rovereto cru of Gavi, this wine undergoes meticulous cold-fermentation to preserve the delicate, high-altitude aromatics of the Cortese grape. It is a wine of quiet, upright authority - the exact pour that established the global reputation of Piedmont whites and became a staple in the finest seafood restaurants of the Ligurian coast. The nose opens with a precise bouquet of hawthorn, bitter almond, and crisp green apple. On the palate, a sharp, refreshing citrus drive immediately gives way to a persistent, wet-stone minerality. Lean, vertical, and impeccably tailored, it offers a sophisticated tension that cuts effortlessly through rich, salt-flecked dishes and fresh coastal catch.
