In ancient times there was only the house of the Scala family, with an adjoining ancient oil mill made of heavy stone wheels, of which we still jealously preserve the remains, which turned in a circle pulled by the animals, a system that allowed the olives to be milled. In the vineyards, whose cultivation is also backdated, grapes were produced in order to supply those who were involved in the transformation. In 1960 the aforementioned activities by his father passed to his son Federico Scala, nephew of Falcone Lucifero, minister of the Real Casa. Thanks to him was born the business center, detached from the family farm, which gave the name Santa Venere, from the name of the stream that runs through the property. Federico was the only one of the family to work in the company.

Subsequently, after completing his university studies, his son Giuseppe also decided to collaborate actively in this field. Together, and with great determination, they set out to give new and important impetus to the activity, starting with the winemaking and the choice to operate in organic, still preserved with pride, choosing a qualified and qualified winemaker, such as Riccardo Cotarella until 2016 which was then replaced by Massimo Bartolini on former collaborator, choosing to aim on indigenous products to enhance their land, in short, a modern and effective change applied to the image of products. The company has been equipped with increasingly sophisticated machinery and systems and by qualified and responsible personnel, everything is taken care of with the utmost care: the vineyards, the harvest and every phase of winemaking, so that the bunch becomes an excellent wine.

The production is always enriched with new proposals, the pride of the company is the SP1 classic method sparkling wine, obtained from Gaglioppo grapes, vinified in white and rosé, always organic. The product was designed, wanted and created by Giuseppe with the collaboration of his cousin Domenico De Sole, former CEO of Gucci and current owner of the Tom Ford brand, and the contribution of the grapes of the latter neighboring the Scala family. Since 2012, father Federico has been missing, his son Giuseppe takes care of the company with the same commitment and the same passion handed down by his father. With Giuseppe he continues and strengthens the great goal of ensuring that the Calabrian autochthonous is known and above all appreciated all over the world. Today Giuseppe can count on the active collaboration of his younger brother Francesco, who has recently completed his university studies. While in the farthest future all Federico's nephews will continue to pursue the 'agricultural' mission, and to carry the family name higher and higher.
