Light in body at 12% and taut with high acidity, layered with flint, almond and walnut on a lingering finish. Cortese.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eThe producer\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eLa Scolca has worked the Cortese grape at Rovereto di Gavi since 1919, and the Soldati family's Gavi Dei Gavi is the wine that made the estate's name; this limited edition is bottled only in the finest vintages. The vineyards lie in the commune of Gavi on red clay, white and marly soils mixed with sand and silt, cooled by the proximity of the sea and the Libeccio winds, with the fruit selected from sixty-year-old vines trained to Guyot and cordon spur. The grapes were pressed gently and fermented plot by plot with wild yeasts at cool temperatures in stainless steel, the fermentation running on the lees, after which the wine rested an extended period on those lees with no oak and was clarified by natural sedimentation. 2019 was a warm year: a dry start, then good spring rainfall and a hot summer with regular rain, before a balanced September brought the fruit to full phenolic ripeness.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFood and drinking\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eServe at 10-12C. It handles richer dishes than most Gavi will take: roast turbot, chicken with lemon and capers, trofie al pesto, or a young pecorino. Already showing well, and worth drinking over the next five years; no decanting needed. Suitable for vegetarians and vegans.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"La Scolca","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":58476401394047,"sku":"HNW-5304019A","price":42.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0551\/4192\/4998\/files\/5304019A.jpg?v=1789921745","url":"https:\/\/www.edkawines.com\/products\/2019-gavi-dei-gavi-black-label-limited-edition-la-scolca","provider":"Edka Wines","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
