Spumante Riserva VSQ Brut 'D'Antan' Vintage 2009 (750 ml.) La Scolca
Spumante Metodo Classico Riserva 'D’Antan' Vintage 2009 by La Scolca is a cuvée of distinction, made from only hand-selected Cortese grapes from the most suitable historic vineyards of Gavi. The vinification according to the Classic Method involves a long aging of over 120 months on the lees, followed by disgorgement without dosage to express the maximum purity of the grape variety. On the nose, there are hints of toasted hazelnut, citrus peel, acacia honey, and flint, while the palate is vibrant, dry, and profoundly mineral, with a finest bubble and a persistent finish. Perfect paired with oysters, seafood crudo, caviar, gourmet sushi, but also with aged cheeses and truffle dishes, to enhance its intensity and complexity. A reserve of rare elegance, for true connoisseurs.

Color: bright golden yellow, with intense reflections.
Perlage: very fine and continuous, a sign of long maturation.
Bouquet: extraordinary complexity: notes of candied citrus, acacia honey, ripe yellow fruit, and dehydrated apricot emerge, followed by hints of sweet spices, saffron, bread crust, and flint, which evolve with oxygenation into accents of hazelnut, toasted almond, and dry hay.
Taste: broad, creamy, and deep, with a surprising freshness that balances the evolution. The mineral texture is sculpted and saline, with savory returns and a persistence that recalls honey, citrus, and spices. A wine for contemplation, combining tension and roundness, elegance and character.

THE COMPANY
The estate La Scolca was purchased between 1917 and 1919 by the great-grandfather of the current owner Giorgio Soldati, who now runs the company with his daughter Chiara Soldati.
The name of the plot comes from the ancient toponym Sfurca meaning "To look far" and the farmhouse that stood there was once a lookout point; the surname fully reflects the proud and tenacious character of the owners and their wines.
At the time of purchase, the property was partly covered by woods and partly cultivated with wheat. It was a well-thought-out intuition to plant Cortese vineyards in 1900 in an area exclusively suited for the cultivation of red grape vineyards: the company's name proved prophetic. The production soon became a primary technical and entrepreneurial activity.
