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.

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.
