Gavi dei Gavi
Limited Edition 2019
La Scolca has stood behind the great ageing potential of Gavi DOCG for both still and sparkling wines for years. In 2000, the La Scolca D’antan line was presented at Vinitaly, and today the company offers a limited edition reserve.
Aged in steel, Gavi dei Gavi 2019 has a light straw colour with a delicate and intense, long, continuous and lasting bouquet, with flavours ranging from fruity to floral, with notes of hazelnut and pastry. Walnut on the palate and toasted almond on the finish. Excellent both during and after a meal. Years of patience and care for a wine that excites. Nature is in no hurry, and yet everything is fulfilled: in wine, in art, in life.
