Piemonte DOC Sauvignon 'Sol Lui' 2024 (750 ml.) La Scolca
Sol Lui by La Scolca is a refined and visionary white wine, crafted from Sauvignon Blanc and native white Piedmontese grapes, grown exclusively in the family’s historic vineyards. A true “soloist”, it breaks conventions while fully embodying the elegance that has defined La Scolca for over a century. The production process combines cryomaceration, temperature-controlled stainless steel fermentation, and extended lees aging, resulting in remarkable complexity, freshness, and aromatic depth. The nose reveals ripe citrus, white flowers, aromatic herbs, and mineral nuances; the palate is velvety, vibrant, and long-lasting. Dedicated by Chiara Soldati to her mother Luisa—whose initials grace the label—this wine is a tribute to tradition and a bold step into the future. Perfect with seafood crudo, tartare, vegetable-based pasta, fresh cheeses, and fusion cuisine.

The winery not only respects traditional winemaking methods, but enriches them with cutting-edge techniques to best enhance the unique characteristics of Cortese. Among the main labels, the famous Gavi dei Gavi “Black Label” stands out, a wine that embodies luxury and refinement, known for being present on the most exclusive tables in the world. With its sophisticated bouquet, rich in floral and fruity notes, and its surprising versatility, Gavi dei Gavi “Black Label” imposes itself as a must for lovers of superior quality white wines.

Color: pale straw yellow, with greenish reflections that emphasize its youth and freshness. The clarity is impeccable, with a brilliant transparency that anticipates a vibrant and clean sip.
Bouquet: harmonious and well-defined, it opens with a delicate fruitiness that recalls green apple, Williams pear and white peach, accompanied by nuances of citrus fruits such as lime and grapefruit. These are intertwined with elegant hints of aromatic herbs, including sage, lemon thyme and a touch of lemon balm. The bouquet is completed with a fresh floral imprint (hawthorn, wild flowers) and a subtle minerality in the background.
Taste: full and soft on the palate, with a round and caressing entrance that evolves into a well-calibrated freshness. The delicate vegetal notes recall fresh almond and cucumber peel, blending with saline accents and slight references to dry hay. The structure is balanced, supported by a good persistence and a savoury and citrusy trail on the finish that gives dynamism and invites you to taste it again.

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.
