La Scolca 2004 Black Label (Gavi)

Country: Italy / Black Label
Variety: Cortese Piedmont
Winery: La Scolca / Gavi

The Black label is the flagship of La Scolca; it is a more harmonious wine than the regular bottling, without its edginess. The nose is reticent, a touch of apple and vanilla, expanding into a rich seamless palate, but like its sibling, is marred by its finish, which is a little short.
