Made from the cortese grape in the Alessandria province in the south-eastern corner of Piedmont in Northern Italy, La Scolca Gavi di Gavi Limited Edition 2021 is a versatile wine packed with minerality, freshness and pretty stone fruit and white flower flavours. Its inherent nuttiness makes it an ideal partner for creamy dishes like smoked mussel velouté.

Gavi di Gavi Limited Edition

La Scolca – Piedmont's cortese specialist since 1919 – elevated Gavi de Gavi into a global icon of sleek, mineral Italian white. Limited editions spotlight the wine's ability to age in steel, gaining pastry, nut and flinty notes while preserving its saline citrus core.

For over a century, La Scolca has maintained an unwavering commitment to producing wines that reflect the essence of their land. With a philosophy rooted in sustainability, meticulous vineyard management, and cutting-edge winemaking techniques, the estate has become a global symbol of quality and authenticity, continuing to lead the way in innovation.

From energy-efficient practices powered by solar energy to modern sur lie winemaking methods that enhance flavor and reduce sulfite levels, La Scolca combines heritage with forward-thinking excellence.

Tasting
NOTES

Fresh and vibrant with a lick of sea salt, this 100% cortese sings with notes of yellow apple, ripe pear, honeysuckle, orange blossom and freshly cut grass. Displaying dialled up aromatics, the palate is dry with pronounced acidity, a creamy texture, and flavours of macadamia nut, lychee, jasmine tea and grapefruit, with walnuts, hazelnuts and sunflower seeds developing over time in the glass. The finish is salty and fresh with a blanched almond bitterness.

Food
PAIRINGS

This nutty white would be joyful with prawn pad Thai, sea bass with a smoked mussel velouté, or a walnut crusted chicken breast with cauliflower purée and beurre noisette.
