Gavi dei Gavi DOCG Riserva 'D'Antan' 2007 (750 ml.) La Scolca
La Scolca Gavi dei Gavi DOCG Riserva ‘D’Antan’ 2007 is a masterful white wine, crafted only in exceptional vintages. It originates from the iconic Black Label cuvée, but goes further: the must ferments and ages for up to 10 years in stainless steel on indigenous lees, without filtration or stabilization, following a philosophy of slow, natural evolution. The result is a wine of remarkable longevity and depth, with intense aromas of candied citrus, tropical fruit, chestnut honey, sea breeze and flint, finishing with hints of toasted almond and walnut. On the palate, it is tense, elegant, and creamy, with a firm mineral backbone and extraordinary persistence. A rare masterpiece, best enjoyed after brief decanting, ideal with refined shellfish, aged cheeses, or as a meditation wine. The ultimate expression of Cortese through the vision of the Soldati family.

Road to Rovereto 170/R - 15066 Gavi (AL), Italy
Color: light straw yellow with light greenish reflections, a sign of evident freshness despite aging, by virtue of the high clarity and static decantation of the product
Bouquet: intense and deep, mineral aromas, notes of flint and limestone are perceived, accompanied by hints of stone fruit (toasted almond, hazelnut) and citrus peel. The complexity evolves towards soft floral hints, while the olfactory finish remains persistent.
Taste: great balance: the citrus freshness (lemon peel, grapefruit), the pungent minerality and the disciplined trace of wood - which gives structure without overpowering - dialogue with a soft and enveloping consistency. Long and persistent, the finish offers more mature notes such as toasted almond and green almond, restoring balance between acidity and complexity.

THE COMPANY
La Scolca estate was purchased between 1917 and 1919 by the great-grandfather of the current owner Giorgio Soldati who today runs the company together with his daughter Chiara Soldati.
The name of the plot derives from the ancient toponym Sfurca or "To look away" and the farmhouse that stood there was in the past a lookout post; 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, partly cultivated with wheat. It was a well-studied intuition to plant Cortese vineyards in 1900 in an area exclusively dedicated to the cultivation of red berry vineyards: the name of the company was never prophetic. Production soon became a primary technical and entrepreneurial activity.
