A luminous pale straw colour introduces a bouquet of white peach, acacia blossom, and fresh citrus zest, lifted by hints of almond and wet stone. The palate is expansive yet precise, with silky texture and a harmonious interplay of ripe orchard fruit, saline minerality, and zesty acidity. The finish is exceptionally long and refined, hinting at its superb ageing potential. A versatile gastronomic partner, Villa Scolca pairs beautifully with fresh seafood, shellfish, and delicate white fish dishes.
This is not just another Gavi. It’s a benchmark for the style. Villa Scolca offers a layered sensory journey, combining freshness with remarkable structure. It’s equally compelling enjoyed young for its vibrant citrus and floral notes or cellared for its nutty, honeyed complexity that develops with time.
Description
Villa Scolca is the crown jewel of La Scolca’s portfolio. It is crafted exclusively from estate-grown Cortese grapes sourced from the winery’s oldest vineyards, some over 60 years old. Nestled in the prestigious hills of Gavi in Piedmont, these plots benefit from a unique microclimate, where maritime breezes meet mineral-rich soils, giving the wine its remarkable depth, finesse, and ageing potential. This 2023 vintage captures the very soul of Gavi—crystalline, aromatic, and enduringly elegant.
