About this product
The benchmark Gavi — from La Scolca's estate in the Gavi commune itself, where the Cortese grape produces its most mineral and precise expression. Pale straw; white flower, lemon zest, green apple, almonds; crisp acidity, medium body, and a mineral-saline finish that makes it one of Italy's greatest seafood wines. Benchmark for the Cortese grape since 1919.
