Cellar for up to 5 years. Serve chilled. La scolca has been in the hands of the same family since 1917 when the great-grandfather of current owner giorgio soldati purchased the estate. The winery is rightfully famous across the world for its benchmark gavi wines like this stunning etichetta bianco or white label . Made in a traditional style, this youthful and exuberant white wine is made with top quality cortese grapes from the steep slopes of the so-called grand cru of gavi, rovereto. The grapes are carefully harvested by hand and then vinified according to typical local practices in temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks to preserve freshness and the typical aromatics of the grape variety. The wine is then allowed to settle over the winter, spending 4-5 months ageing on the lees to add complexity and a creamier texture before being bottled in february. The result is a crisp, mouthwateringly refreshing white wine which is bursting with delicate citrus, honeysuckle and white blossom notes. The first sip reveals a light body, bright streak of acidity and a pure, clean finish. Ideal for serving with summer salads, fresh seafood or sushi, creamy chicken and fish dishes or even a generous platter of cheeses.
