La Scolca Black Label Gavi dei Gavi 2024
Known globally as the original "Gavi dei Gavi," the 2024 La Scolca Black Label is sourced exclusively from the Soldati family’s oldest, sixty-year-old vines situated in the revered Rovereto super-cru. This is the precise bottle that proved Gavi could stand shoulder-to-shoulder with the greatest white wines of the world. By treating the Cortese grape with the obsessive reverence of a Grand Cru, La Scolca has crafted a wine with a structural bone and depth entirely unique to the estate. It is the ultimate expression of their pioneering extended lees ageing process. Intensely mineral and fiercely dry, the Black Label Gavi dei Gavi opens with a profound palate of crushed flint, delicate almond blossom, and crisp orchard fruit. Its signature is an electric, persistent saline finish that speaks directly to the ancient limestone-rich soils of Piedmont. It is a wine of extraordinary poise and architectural power, demanding a place alongside serious gastronomic pairings.
