Gavi Dei Gavi (Etichetta Nera) 2020,sec, 750ml
The Gavi dei Gavi Black Label is the flagship of the estate Scolca, manufactured under a strict respect for nature and its cycles through traditional methods of pruning and harvesting. In Gavi, Cortese was implanted for the first time by the Marquis Cambiaso over a century ago with the purpose of serving a fine wine for his guests. His example was soon imitated all over the territory of Gavi, and began to be sold, even if the knowledge of wine-making of the past did not allow quality, the wines were fragile and subject to oxidation. Major wine brands from Piedmont, Cinzano and later Martini & Rossi, began to be interested in the Cortese di Gavi, buying bulk wine from local producers to use as a basis for their sparkling wines.
