La Scolca Earns Outstanding James Suckling Scores: 94 Points for D’Antan 2013 and 91 Points for Gavi dei Gavi® Black Label 2025
New prestigious international recognition for La Scolca: James Suckling awards 94 points to D’Antan 2013 and 91 points to Gavi dei Gavi® Black Label 2025.
Two wines, two important accolades showcasing different expressions of Cortese and a winemaking philosophy that has connected La Scolca to the Gavi territory for over a century.
Standing out is La Scolca D’Antan 2013, awarded 94 points. James Suckling describes it as a fascinating aged white, characterized by notes of dried pear, beeswax, citrus and mineral nuances. Made from 100% Cortese, with no oak ageing and extended bottle maturation, this wine reveals the remarkable ability of the grape variety to evolve beautifully over time.
Alongside the depth and complexity of D’Antan, the new vintage expresses freshness, precision and elegance.
Gavi dei Gavi® Black Label 2025 receives 91 points. The tasting highlights freshness and texture, with notes of pear, delicate floral nuances, juicy acidity and a clean, precise finish.
Two wines, one distinctive identity
From the freshness of Gavi dei Gavi® Black Label 2025 to the complexity achieved by D’Antan 2013 through extended ageing, these awards reveal two complementary expressions of the La Scolca philosophy.
On one side, the elegance and precision of Gavi; on the other, the ability of Cortese to evolve over time, developing remarkable depth and complexity.
