La Scolca

The La Scolca® estate was purchased in 1919 by Giorgio Soldati's great-grandfather, a great interpreter of Gavi DOCG wine. Today, his daughter Chiara Soldati, the fourth generation with an eye on the third millennium, runs the company. As a result, the past and the future coexist in this company that best combines the naturalness of those who have always lived in this world. The land plot's name derives from the ancient toponym 'Sfurca', which means 'Looking Away', and the farmstead that stood there had been a lookout post in the past. All these features reflect the proud and tenacious character of the owners and their wines.

At the time of purchase, the property was partly covered by wood and partially cultivated with wheat. It was a well-considered intuition to plant Cortese vineyards in 1900 in an area exclusively dedicated to growing red grapes. Never, as in this case, was the choice so prophetic. Production soon became a primarily technical and entrepreneurial activity. Therefore, La Scolca is the oldest winery in the area, but at the same time, a modern company with a stable outlook for the future.
