Tenuta La Scolca PIEDMONT, ITALY


In the heart of Gavi, a picturesque town in northwestern Italy’s Piedmont region, lies Tenuta La Scolca. Founded over a century ago, this historic estate is more than just a winery — it’s the birthplace of Gavi’s global reputation. Thanks to La Scolca, the crisp, elegant white wine from this region has become celebrated worldwide. Surrounded by rolling hills, the estate’s vineyards stretch to the horizon, offering a serene landscape and an immersive introduction to fine wine and authentic Italian hospitality. The Gavi region itself is steeped in history and


natural charm. Known as the ‘land of the great white’, it’s the undisputed home of the Cortese grape, the varietal behind Gavi’s fame. Sitting at the crossroads of Piedmont and Liguria, the area reflects a unique blend of traditions. The cuisine captures this dual identity, marrying


the rich, earthy flavours of Piedmont with the fresh, sunlit tastes of the Ligurian coast. A stroll through the cobbled lanes of the medieval village of Gavi reveals artisan shops and welcoming trattorias, each offering a glimpse of the region’s essence.


Tenuta La Scolca has been guided by the same


family for five generations, its pioneering spirit and dedication to quality evident in every detail, from the historic cellars to the warmth of its hospitality. Guests can enjoy guided tours of the vineyards and tastings of the estate’s renowned wines, with the option of a private lunch to complete the experience. For those with a palate for local delicacies,


La Scolca curates a gastronomic journey that’s both refined and authentic. Specialities include agnolotti del plin — delicate pasta pockets — Piedmont’s famous truffle and fresh seafood brought from the Ligurian coast, all perfectly paired with Gavi wines. To truly appreciate the soul of the area,


visitors should seek out the Forte di Gavi, a dramatic fortress offering sweeping views of the countryside, and taste focaccia novese, a crisp, paper-thin flatbread from nearby Novi Ligure. It’s these little details, woven together with the wines of La Scolca, that make Gavi a destination of rare depth and character.
