La Scolca Gavi dei Gavi 100 Years Limited Edition (Black Label) 2017

91 points James Suckling: "Aromas of cooked lemons, kumquats, pineapple and crushed stones. Hints of fennel. Medium-bodied with a flavorful, textured palate. I like the balance of ripe and dried citrus fruit. Drink now. (9/6/22)"

Producer notes: "100% Cortese. For years, La Scolca has supported the great aging potential of Gavi DOCG for both still wines and sparkling wines. In 2000, La Scolca D’antan line was presented at Vinitaly, and today the company offers a limited edition reserve. Aged in steel, the Gavi dei Gavi 2017 has a light straw color with a delicate and intense aroma, long, continuous, lasting, with flavors ranging from fruity to floral. Notes of hazelnut and pastry. Walnut on the palate and toasted almond on the finish. Excellent both during or after a meal. Years of patience and care for a wine that excites."
