Description
What kind of wine it is
La Scolca Soldati d’Antan Rosé Metodo Classico Brut is a rosé sparkling wine made from a blend of Cortese and Pinot Noir grapes. Produced using the Traditional Method, it stands out for its pale pink colour and extremely fine perlage. On the nose, it reveals notes of pastry and white chocolate, followed by hints of exotic fruits, honey and spices. On the palate, it is dry and well-structured, supported by a vibrant freshness. The velvety texture accompanies a persistent finish, with echoes of almond and candied fruit.
Where it comes from
This sparkling wine originates in the heart of the Gavi region in Piedmont. This area, inextricably linked to La Scolca, produces grapes with remarkable aromatic precision and natural acidity, key elements for outstanding sparkling wine bases. The unique soil and climate conditions are reflected in the wine’s expressive freshness, ensuring perfect balance and a dry sip that enhances the complex evolution of its aromas.
How it is produced
Production involves secondary fermentation in the bottle, the core of the Traditional Method. Maturation on the lees lasts for around ten years, a crucial period that gives the wine aromatic breadth and a smooth taste. Served chilled, it enhances shellfish, fish dishes and white meats. Thanks to its solid structure, it can accompany an entire meal or vegetarian dishes, and also proves to be an excellent meditation wine.
History and Curiosities
Originating from the terroir of Gavi, Soldati d’Antan Rosé 2013 embodies the excellence of La Scolca, a historic winery linked to the Soldati family since 1919. This rare vintage is born from the union of Cortese and Pinot Noir grapes, crafted according to the rigorous Traditional Method. The exceptional decade-long ageing on native yeasts gives the wine a complex elegance, already awarded with the 5 Grappoli Bibenda. This patient evolution ensures extraordinary longevity, offering an unforgettable sip with enveloping pastry aromas and lively spicy notes.
