| Description: | Winemaker Notes\r\n\r\n\r\nThe most traditional Gavi is vinified from grapes of exuberant young vineyards located in the heart of Rovereto of Gavi, place worldwide known as the \u201cGran Cr\u00f9 of Gavi\u201d; their perfectly balanced aging lends the wine its typical fresh, dry taste. Light straw in color with aromas typical of Gavi, fine and pleasantly fresh. Delicate, very dry, characterized by a fairly marked acidulous notes. Fresh white pears, chopped apples, lemons, white flowers and wet stones on the nose. Crisp, fresh and medium-bodied. Clean and no-nonsense Gavi\r\nAbout La Scola\r\nThe La Scolca estate was purchased in 1919 by the great-grandfather of Giorgio Soldati who, today, leads the company with his daughter Chiara. The past and the future live together at La Scolca: the naturalness of those who have always been in this industry is combined with the vigor of forward-looking leaders.\r\nThe surname Soldati \u201csoldiers\u201d is particularly symbolic for the approach taken by the company\u2019s owners. The name of the property, as well, is symbolic. La Scolca brand comes from \u201cSfurca\u201d or \u201cLook off into the distance\u201d and the farmhouse that stood there was exactly that: a lookout post.\r\nThese names reflect the proud and tenacious character of the owners and their wines.\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\nIn 1919, at the time of purchase, the land was used, in part, to produce grain and the rest was covered by forest. The Soldati family had a well-studied plan: to plant Cortese vineyards in an area traditionally used to cultivate only red grapes. The production soon became a major technical enterprise. La Scolca is the oldest company in the area for continuity of management by the same family. It is also the most modern.\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\nGiorgio Soldati has proven himself to be a valid and innovative leader: he created an extraordinary set of wines that brought honor to the \u201cGavi\u201d region and to the Cortese grape. The greatest task has been leading the company, working to strengthen its image and reputation throughout the world and maintaining the highest quality standards.\r\n |
