Tasting with Chiara Soldati
The Soldati family procured the estate that would become La Scolca at the conclusion of the First World War and to this day the estate is run by descendants of the Soldati family. I’m always curious to dig a little deeper into the nomenclature of a winery’s name, and La Scolca reportedly comes from the colloquial ‘sfurca’, or looking forward into the distance.
It would be poetic to say it’s reflective of a forward looking wine style, but in honesty it’s due a farmhouse location.
