La Scolca D'Antan 2008

La Scolca Black Label Gavi dei Gavi 2021

The Gavi suspended in Time

Only in the best years, only from the best grapes, made this prestigious Gavi DOCG “Gavi dei Gavi – La Scolca” that, after having aged up to 10 years in our cellar, arrive at the bottle in an unmistakable intensity and nobility of feelings that only the time can give to the “Great Wines”. Rare wine, which must be drunk slowly, thanking to the time that made it so special and so unique, meditating on the extraordinary feelings that, like in the Proust’s “Recherche”, remember the tastes of distant and ancient memories, like ancient are the techniques with which, with patience, this wine is made.
In fact only the slowness, the respectful await, the long experience and the patient art, learn in eighty years of winemaking, allows to give this intense harmony of perfumes and tastes, where power and fineness join in one splendid equilibrium, brings us again to the nature and to the feelings of D’Antan®.

La Scolca is an artisanal winery, which pioneered modern, controlled vinification in stainless steel to preserve the subtle fruit of the Cortese grape. Yields are kept low, well below the legal maximum, through severe pruning and thinning. The oldest vines and best sites are reserved for their Gavi dei Gavi, packaged in a clear Burgundy-style bottle with a distinctive black label.
