A Natural Evolution for La Scolca
Founded in 1919, La Scolca is a fourth-generation, family-owned Italian estate and one of the historic pioneers of Gavi. For more than a century, the Soldati family has championed the Cortese grape and helped establish Gavi as one of Italy’s most recognised white wines. Today, La Scolca is internationally known for its elegant, fresh and distinctive style.
Building on this heritage, La Scolca has released Il Valentino, a premium alcohol-free white wine made from Cortese, the signature grape of Gavi. Developed with the same focus on freshness, balance and food-friendly character that defines the estate, Il Valentino brings La Scolca’s winemaking expertise to the growing alcohol-free category.
The launch comes as consumer demand continues to shift toward low- and no-alcohol options—whether for moderation, wellness goals, designated-driver occasions or simply greater choice. Rather than creating a flavoured alternative or lifestyle beverage, Il Valentino offers consumers a wine-led option from one of Gavi’s historic producers.
