La Scolca
Gavi d'Antan
Gavi, Alessandria, Piedmont, Italy
Classic method sparkling from North Italy, made with "Cortese" grapes DOC 2000, 12.5%. Blanc de Blanc, 10 years on the yeasts!!
Bottle tasted in December 2014.
What an unusual bottle!!
Pale yellow/green color.
The nose was very "french style": bread yeasts, dry fruits and a bit green. Elegant!
Round in the mouth, with just the right acidity, and a hint of wood.
A very nice surprise: really loved it.
