Our Producers
Scotto
We are delighted to launch a new range of wines from California sourced from Scotto Family Wines, based in Lodi.
We have been privileged to work with Anthony to develop the blends for this range with an emphasis on bright fruit
expression and minimal use of oak. The Carignan vines which produce the fruit for the Cabernet Carignan blend are over 100 years old resulting in a wine of great concentration at this price level.

Our family's wine history started in the mid 1800's with my grandfather, Salvatore Dominic Scotto, in Iscia, Italy. Like many in his day, he made wine for the family table and sold the excess; while presenting his wine to a new neighbor, he met his future bride. He taught his first son, Dominic, everything he knew about making wine.
In the years ahead Dominic followed in his father's footsteps, making wine for his family in his spare time while he worked as a ship's caulker. In 1903 his family immigrated to New York and eventually settled in Brooklyn, where he practiced his trade on the wooden
ships docked at ports up and down the east coast. He also resumed his second career as a winemaker and started selling five gallon crocks of red wine to the neighbors from his horse drawn wagon.
