La Scolca
La Scolca produces sparkling and still wines from Gavi, the Cortese heartland of Piemonte in northern Italy. The winery's portfolio centers on the region's signature white variety, Cortese, which thrives in the limestone and clay soils of this Alpine foothills appellation. Soldati D'Antan Millesimato Brut and Gavi dei Gavi D'Antan showcase the grape's mineral precision and structure in méthode classica form, while Soldati Brut Rosé introduces Pinot Noir into the lineup. These wines have been assessed by Wine Enthusiast, Wine Spectator, and Decanter. Gavi's cool continental climate and the winery's focus on single-vineyard expression yield wines marked by acidity, elegance, and food-friendly character—hallmarks of the region's best producers.
