La Scolca earns outstanding James Suckling scores: 94 points for D’Antan and 91 points for the 2025 Black and White Label
New international recognition for La Scolca, as James Suckling awards 94 points to D’Antan Secco 2013 and 91 points to both Gavi dei Gavi® Black Label 2025 and La Scolca White Label 2025.
Three wines and three important scores, revealing different expressions of Cortese and a winemaking philosophy deeply connected to the Gavi territory.
Leading the results is La Scolca D’Antan 2013, awarded an impressive 94 points. James Suckling highlights the fascinating character of this aged white, with aromas of dried pear, candle wax and beeswax, followed by citrus and stony nuances. Made from 100% Cortese, with no oak ageing and extended bottle maturation, D’Antan offers a compelling expression of the variety’s ability to evolve over time.
Alongside the remarkable maturity of D’Antan, the 2025 wines express the freshness, precision and elegance associated with La Scolca.
Gavi dei Gavi® Black Label 2025 receives 91 points, with James Suckling noting its fresh, textured character, sliced pear and white-flower nuances, juicy acidity and clean, precise finish.
La Scolca White Label 2025 also earns 91 points, recognised for its clean and transparent profile, fresh apple and light citrus notes, polished balance and fresh finish.
Three wines, one distinctive identity
From the vibrant freshness of the latest vintages to the complexity achieved through extended ageing, these new scores reveal two complementary sides of the La Scolca philosophy.
On one side, the elegance and precision of Gavi. On the other, the extraordinary ability of Cortese to evolve over time, developing depth and complexity, beautifully demonstrated by D’Antan 2013.
94, 91, 91 points: three outstanding scores that further strengthen La Scolca’s position among the distinctive expressions of premium Italian white wine on the international stage.
