White
La Scolca d'Antan
By La Scolca, Gavi, Piemonte, Italy
Made only in great vintages from the vineyards that also supply the Etichetta Nera, then rested for at least ten years in steel on its native lees.
Tasting notes
Intense pale straw colour. Intense, long, continuous nose with honey, hazelnut and toasted almond. Typical palate with slight mineral notes turning to flint, with walnut, exotic fruit, grapefruit, butter, saffron and candied citrus.
Pairs well with
Whole meal, after dinner and for contemplation: flavourful cheeses, meat pâté, oysters and crustaceans.
