Gavi dei Gavi Riserva DOCG 'D'Antan' 2007 (750 ml.) La Scolca
La Scolca Gavi dei Gavi DOCG Riserva ‘D’Antan’ 2007 is an author's white wine, created only in exceptional vintages. It comes from the famous cuvée Black Label, but taken further: the must ferments and matures for up to 10 years in steel, on native yeasts, without filtration or stabilization, following a philosophy of slow natural evolution. The result is a surprising wine for longevity and depth, with intense aromas of candied citrus, tropical fruit, chestnut honey, marine notes and flint, complemented by hints of toasted almond and walnut. On the palate, it is tense, elegant and creamy, with a mineral texture and extraordinary persistence. A rare masterpiece, to be rediscovered after decanting, perfect with important shellfish, aged cheeses, or as a meditation wine. The maximum expression of Cortese according to the vision of the Soldati family.

Color: light straw yellow with slight greenish reflections, a sign of evident freshness despite aging, thanks to the high clarity and static decantation of the product.
Bouquet: intense and deep, with mineral aromas, notes of flint and limestone, 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 touch of wood – which provides structure without overwhelming – interact with a soft and enveloping texture. Long and persistent, the finish offers more mature notes such as toasted almond and green almond, restoring balance between acidity and complexity.

THE WINE
The Scolca Gavi dei Gavi DOCG Riserva ‘D’Antan’ 2007 is an author wine, created only in exceptional vintages. It is derived from the famous cuvée Black Label, but taken further: the must ferments and ages for up to 10 years in steel, on indigenous yeasts, without filtration or stabilization, following a philosophy of slow natural evolution. The result is a surprising wine for longevity and depth, with intense aromas of candied citrus, tropical fruit, chestnut honey, marine notes and flint, rounded off with hints of toasted almond and walnut. On the palate, it is tight, elegant and creamy, with a mineral texture and extraordinary persistence. A rare masterpiece, to be rediscovered after decanting, perfect with important crustaceans, aged cheeses or as a wine for meditation. The maximum expression of Cortese according to the vision of the Soldati family.
THE ESTATE
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 together with his daughter, Chiara Soldati.
The name of the plot derives from the ancient toponym Sfurca, meaning "to look far," and the farmhouse that once stood there was indeed 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 grapevines: never has the name of the company proved to be prophetic. The production soon became a primary technical and entrepreneurial activity.
