Piemonte DOC Pinot Noir 2023 (750 ml.) La Scolca
La Scolca’s Pinot Noir is an elegant, contemporary red wine made from 100% Pinot Noir grapes grown in the hillside vineyards of Gavi, Piedmont. The area’s cool microclimate and calcareous-clay soils enhance the grape’s natural finesse, while the winemaking process blends tradition and innovation: stainless steel fermentation at controlled temperature is followed by aging in barrique and bottle, adding complexity and softness. On the nose, it offers red berries, rosehip, sweet spices, and toasted hints; the palate is silky and fresh, with polished tannins and a long, harmonious finish. Perfect with white meats, mushroom dishes, aged cheeses, and refined ethnic cuisine, this red showcases the estate’s innovative spirit beyond the borders of Gavi.

Color: bright and transparent ruby red, typical of the Pinot Noir grape variety in temperate climates such as Piedmont. The reflections tend to garnet with rotation in the glass, a sign of good youthful evolution.
Bouquet: elegant and fine, with notes of crunchy red fruits such as cherry and currant, followed by floral nuances of rose and violet. Light spices of white pepper and a hint of undergrowth emerge, which anticipate the typical complexity of the grape variety, while maintaining a fresh and immediate style.
Taste: slender, with a tense and vibrant sip. The attack is fruity and delicately savory, with silky and well-integrated tannins. The freshness accompanies a clean and coherent finish, of good persistence, where fruity sensations and a slight balsamic hint re-emerge.

THE COMPANY
La Scolca estate was purchased between 1917 and 1919 by the great-grandfather of the current owner Giorgio Soldati who today runs the company together with his daughter Chiara Soldati.
The name of the plot derives from the ancient toponym Sfurca or "To look away" and the farmhouse that stood there was in the past a lookout post; the surname fully reflects the proud and tenacious character of the owners and their wines.
At the time of purchase, the property was partly covered by woods, partly cultivated with wheat. It was a well-studied intuition to plant Cortese vineyards in 1900 in an area exclusively dedicated to the cultivation of red berry vineyards: the name of the company was never prophetic. Production soon became a primary technical and entrepreneurial activity.
