The prestigious “Gavi dei Gavi”® La Scolca® is obtained through the strictest respect for nature, the oldest and most traditional rules of cultivation, from pruning to harvesting with a strict and careful selection in vineyards that reach sixty years of age. In the winery, with winemaking techniques refined over more than 90 years of experience, a model of Gavi still unsurpassed was born: a term of comparison and reference, the result of a long tradition for generations. A wine that amazes: it contrasts a delicate aroma with a strong character and great personality. A wine suspended in time. Vivid and intense, harmonious and balanced it offers surprising freshness and continuity. The complex hints of flint, almond and walnut know how to evolve over time: a wine with the soul of a child, but the heart of an adult.
COLOUR: light straw yellow, with delicate greenish highlights.
AROMA: Intense, long, continuous, persistent, fruity to flowery depending on the state of evolution.
TASTE: broad, savory, hints of flint; almond and walnut on the finish.
What strikes one upon arriving at La Scolca Estate, in addition to the Ancient Tower that towers above the house, is the pleasantness of the atmosphere that one perceives: everything unfolds with harmony and with the punctuality that only well-tested mechanisms can display.
The La Scolca estate was purchased between 1917 and 1919 by the great-grandfather of the current owner Giorgio Soldati, who today runs the farm together with his daughter Chiara Soldati, the fifth generation with an eye already on the third millennium. II past and the future coexist in this company that best combines the naturalness of those who have always lived in this world with the rapidity of those who look ahead with the foresight of courageous captains: never as in the case of the Soldati family do names have symbolic meaning. The name of the plot was derived from the ancient toponym “Sfurca” or “Looking Away,” and the farmstead that stood there had in the past been precisely a lookout post. The surname fully reflects the proud and tenacious character of the owners and their wines.
