The Cellar
La Scolca cellar: a modern Heritage in Every Glass
For over a century, La Scolca® has combined tradition with cutting-edge winemaking techniques to produce wines that resonate with the values of luxury hospitality: exclusivity, sustainability, and attention to detail. From hand-harvested Cortese grapes to the unique sur lie method, every step of our process reflects uncompromising quality.
History, Technology, Innovation, and Sustainability
At La Scolca, the cellar reflects a perfect balance between tradition and cutting-edge innovation. Equipped with state-of-the-art machinery, the winemaking facility is continuously updated through strategic investments aimed at optimizing quality, efficiency, and energy management.
Recent upgrades include a modern bottling line designed to minimize water usage, prevent oxidation during bottling. Additionally, the estate has implemented a photovoltaic energy system, ensuring energy self-sufficiency and sustainability. Innovations also extend to the automation of the production line, with intelligent slow-down systems that enhance efficiency by reducing start-and-stop cycles during operation.
Built on three levels, the cellar is harmoniously integrated into the estate’s hilltop location. Designed to respect the surrounding vineyards and preserve the landscape, the structure embodies La Scolca’s core values: sustainability, traceability, environmental protection, and low-impact practices.
While maintaining its traditional winemaking techniques, the winery incorporates energy-saving processes that have consistently earned market recognition. One signature method is the sur lie process, where the wine remains in contact with yeast sediments until bottling. This technique not only enhances flavors and aromas but also allows for minimal use of sulfites, , offering a healthier, more natural product for consumers and contributing to the unique drinkability of La Scolca® wines.
An on-site laboratory ensures constant quality control, monitoring the grapes before vinification and supervising every stage of the wine production.
