La Scolca 1995 Soldati Millesimato Riserva D'Antan Sparkling (Piedmont)
- Cellar Selection
- Online Exclusive
This is an extraordinary wine with deep and delicate layers of yeast, wild berries, rose bud and smoky ash. There is a distinctive wood element that comes off as roasted almond and creamy butter, yet the wine is balanced and seductive to the end. You get personality and the highest quality of Italian sparkling wine.

La Scolca 2000 D'Antan Cortese (Gavi)
This is a unique expression of Gavi (from the far-away 2000 vintage) that shows the extraordinary aging potential of this lively white wine. The elegance is all in the aging. Stone fruit and floral notes are enhanced by white mineral, smoky ash and dried lemon zest. The wine is fresh and crisp with a sour almond note on the close. This wine won’t appeal to everyone.
