VINTAGE

Valdiguié is a very large-berried, late maturing variety; it requires vigilance from our vineyard crew to prune to only one bud per spur to aid ripening. In the cellar, the goal is to preserve Valdiguié’s wonderful natural acidity and fresh fruit character. We use two different fermentation techniques to achieve this. On our last pick of 2019, we hand-harvested roughly one-quarter of the fruit and put those whole clusters directly into the fermentation tanks for ‘carbonic maceration’ – no crushing or punching down for the first two weeks. The balance of the fruit went through the more conventional technique of gently de-stemming, pumping over, and extracting with a fairly short, warm fermentation.

Light green-apple and acacia-honey aromas. Clean, fresh and minerally on the palate, with a light saltiness to the finish. Good quality here and good value, too. Drink now.

A high quality wine can only be made from grapes grown in places where they find harmony, better soil, climate, altitude and exposure in order to obtain the full flavors and aromas; such as La scolca® “Gavi dei Gavi®”. A better quality is guarantee by the Brand La scolca® anb by his philosophy: to obtain an excellent wine from excellent grapes. It is arduous work to make wine “in the vineyard” rather than “in the winery”, that is to grow the best grapes possible and make wine out of top-quality primary material, rather than counting on manipulations in the winery.
The results of our way ofworking is evident when tasting: not only is the wine more complex and elegant, with distinct terroir personality, but is is also more healthy.
