La Scola was the first winery established in Gavi in 1919. The vineyard is planted on steep slopes 50km from the sea. These Cortese vines are some of the oldest in Piedmont and produce complex wines. La Scolca White Label is the 'everyday' alternative to the legendary Black Label wine produced by the Domaine. Sourced from younger vines this wine still displays similar richness and complexity to its elder brother. Light straw in colour with green undertones, Zesty lemon aromas with some almond and stone fruit notes. Crisp, lively, mineral character with sharp acidity and a refreshing, lasting finish.

Piemonte (Piedmont) occupies most of northwestern Italy, bordering Switzerland in the north and France in the west and almost reaching the Mediterranean coast. Its capital and largest city is Turin (Torino).

In the wine world, Piemonte is best known for the twin titans of Barolo and Barbaresco, along with other popular red wines made from Barbera and Dolcetto, the white Gavi, and sparkling Asti.

It has more DOCGs (17) and DOCs (42) than any other region (see maps: Asti area, Langhe, Monferrato, and northern), but no IGPs. In 2016, Piemonte produced 2.5 million hl (28.3 million cases) of wine, the majority of it (55%) red and 83% at the DOP level. The region’s primary grape varieties are Barbera (31%), Moscato (22%), Dolcetto (13%), and Nebbiolo (10%).

Gavi is a white wine produced in the Piedmont region of Italy. The wine is made from the Cortese grape, which is known for its crisp acidity and delicate fruit flavours. Gavi has a long history, dating back to the 11th century when it was first produced by monks in the area. Today, Gavi is one of the most popular white wines in Italy and is enjoyed around the world.

The production of Gavi is strictly regulated by the Gavi DOCG (Denominazione di Origine Controllata e Garantita) which ensures that the wine is made according to strict standards. The grapes must be grown in the Gavi region and the wine must be made using only Cortese grapes. The wine is fermented in stainless steel tanks to preserve its delicate flavours and aromas.

Gavi is known for its light, crisp, and refreshing taste. The wine has a pale straw colour and aromas of green apple, lemon, and white flowers. On the palate, Gavi is dry with flavours of citrus and stone fruit. The wine has a bright acidity that makes it a perfect pairing for seafood, salads, and light pasta dishes.

Overall, Gavi is a classic Italian white wine that is perfect for any occasion. Its light and refreshing taste make it a great choice for warm summer days, while its crisp acidity makes it a perfect pairing for a variety of foods. Whether you are a seasoned wine connoisseur or just starting to explore the world of wine, Gavi is a must-try.
