La Scolca

La Scolca is a winery in Gavi focused on producing Cortese white wines across its vineyard grounds. The property includes production facilities, aging cellars, and tasting rooms where guests can sample the wines.

Founded in 1919, the estate pioneered Gavi wine production. Its work helped establish international benchmarks for Italian white wines.

The name derives from an old word meaning school, reflecting its teaching principles for winemaking. Visitors can observe how traditional handling of the vines blends with contemporary practices throughout the property.

The best time to visit is during harvest season when activity is visible, or year-round by booking ahead. Wear comfortable shoes since the grounds feature rolling terrain and fieldside paths.

Some of the older vines here are decades old, rooted in mineral-rich clay soil. These special growing conditions give the wine its distinctive character.
