There are interviews, and then there are moments you simply don’t forget. Sitting down with Chiara Soldati, the woman behind one of Italy’s most iconic wineries — La Scolca — was one of those rare occasions where conversation, wine, and setting aligned in effortless harmony.

The interview took place at Cleland & Souchet, a space that embodies Malta’s taste for timeless elegance and lifestyle. Known for its curated selection of fine wines, design pieces, and impeccable ambiance, it couldn’t have been a better backdrop for this encounter. The team there hosted us with absolute style, culminating in a beautifully set dinner that showcased both Maltese hospitality and the essence of La Scolca.

Chiara, with her warmth and quiet strength, shared her journey — from upholding a century-old family tradition to navigating the global wine scene with grace and innovation. We spoke about legacy, leadership, and the emotional connection people have with wine. It wasn’t just about what’s in the bottle — it was about the stories that surround it.

Throughout the evening, we tried a few different bottles from their collection — symbols of elegance, craft, and history. The conversation flowed just as smoothly as the wine, touching on everything from childhood excitement to the challenges of carrying a legacy forward with integrity.

This wasn’t just an interview. It was a shared table, a meeting of minds, and a tribute to the art of good living.

Cleland & Souchet — thank you for an unforgettable experience.
