La Scolca Gavi Valentino

The Gavi Valentino from La Scolca shows what Cortese can achieve on calcareous soil in Piedmont: a clear, precise white wine without frills.

La Scolca is one of the historic wineries of the DOCG Gavi – the house was significantly involved in establishing the appellation in the first place. The vineyards are located in the core area of the municipality of Gavi, on calcareous hillside locations in southern Piedmont near the Ligurian coast. This shapes the style: lively acidity, slender body, no wood aging.

Straw-yellow in the glass with a green shimmer. On the nose, fresh citrus peel, white peach, and a fine almond note, which is typical for the Cortese grape variety. Slender on the palate, with invigorating acidity and a dry, slightly mineral finish. Not a heavy wine – one that whets the appetite.

Drinking temperature: 8–10 °C. Goes well with vitello tonnato, grilled sea bass, Ligurian pesto, or mild goat cheese.
