Description
The popularity of Sam Scott’s La Prova label is the result of a combination of innovation, awareness, site-selection, authenticity and value. These are Sam’s site and varietal trials, where he applies some modern and original methodology to what he’s learnt of how these Italian varieties are made at their origins.
He chooses the varieties based on an almost intimate knowledge of vines and vineyards along the length of the Adelaide Hills, and Sam maintains an input into the chosen vineyard’s management. The wine style needs to be terroir-driven, varietal and authentic, and must also carry the Scott signatures of drive, vitality and freshness.
“We make Australian wines using Italian varieties that thrive in our ancient soils and warming climate.” Sam Scott, Winemaker.
Fruit from Longview Vineyard, Macclesfield, Adelaide Hills. Nebbiolo and Macclesfield are a pretty handy combination. Grown specifically for Rosato and picked early in the red-fruit-flavour spectrum. 50% was fermented in stainless steel for brightness and the balance was diverted to old white oak for fermentation with fluffy lees for texture and a more savoury component. Vegan friendly.
The 2022 growing season was another mild and gentle growing season. It had a late, wet start in spring, followed by a mild summer and cool autumn. Lots of hang time and lower than average yields. Structured red Italian varieties like Nebbiolo are perfect for making rose style wines. They develop bright, vibrant, fragrant red fruits early on; and the savoury notes of a touch of tannin on the finish tidy up the palate.
Brand new release… Review for 2021 – 95 points, Jeni Port for Halliday Wine Companion “The producer understands nebbiolo oh, so well. Here, he brings lift and energy, delicacy and strength to a pretty complex rosato. Red cherry, dried strawberry, almond biscuit and a dash of pepper are the basis for the exploration. But just look at the tannin and acid management here: so bright, clean and enduring.”
