Cortese

One of our best sellers and one of the top 3 Gavi estates, this is premier league quality. If you`ve tried Gavi before this, prepare to be blown away. Straw-yellow with a greenish hue. On the nose it is more perfumed than the previous vintage, with scents of green apples and fresh pears.

Made at the Volpi family estate in Tortona, Piemonte from Cortese vines planted in the central hilltops of the Gavi di Gavi district. This lemony dry wine has a perfumed mineral character, with aromas of peach and flowers, lingering hints of vanilla and soft-textured dry finish.

Light straw in colour with a fresh, open perfume with notes of flint and flowers. On the palate it is intense and concentrated, restrained and with a lovely pure fruit character, with flavours of peach and lime which follow through to the long, minerally finish.

La Scolca ranks among the top white wine producers in Italy and it was the Soldati family who first produced quality Gavi from the Cortese grape. Forget what you may have tasted before, known throughout the world, Black Label Gavi is pale straw yellow in colour with delicate greenish highlights.
