About La Scolca 2020 Gavi Dei Gavi, Black Label
The most iconic white wine from Italy's Piedmont region is without a doubt this prestigious Gavi dei Gavi La Scolca Black Label. The Gavi wine made from the Cortese grape was actually invented at La Scolca in the 1950s. It has since become a classic.
The estate manages an area of about 125 acres of vineyards. All the vineyards are in the best sites of Rovereto di Gavi receiving cooling sea air and full sunlight exposure from sunrise to sunset. The Black Label bottling is produced with the utmost care, from pruning to harvesting, with a strict and rigorous selection from low-yielding vines averaging 60 years of age. Fermented in temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks the wine ages on the lees for additional richness.
James Suckling scored this 90 points saying "Lots of minerals on the nose with hints of citrus blossoms. Medium body with the same mineral base, carrying a thin bead of really tangy, almost steely citrus-fruit flavor. A little aggressive on the palate, at least for now. This may need a year or so to calm down. Drink or hold."
