Scotto Cellars Grace Bridge Pinot Noir

2021

One of our best-selling wines, and a team favourite to boot.

Juicy and supple with succulent strawberry and raspberry fruit against a backdrop of subtle, toasty oak and a bright, fresh finish. A great bargain, especially in Californian terms. Not at all jammy or sweet, it's rare to find a 'grown-up' Pinot at this price!

In 1883, the Scotto family started moving west, from Italy to New York to California. During this multi-generation journey, there has been one constant - the Scottos were making wine somewhere near water. Salvatore Scotto was a farmer, sailor and winemaker on Ischia, a small island west of Naples. He taught his son Dominic two skills that eventually shaped his life: repairing boats and making wine. Dominic became a ships caulker and moved his family to New York in 1903,

Today, Scotto Family Cellars makes small lots of artisanal wines in Lodi, paying tribute to their ancestors. The winery is owned and operated by Anthony Scotto III, a 5th generation winemaker, with help from his sister Natalie and his brother Paul.

Pinot Noir

Pinot Noir is a red grape variety and a style of red wine that is typically light to medium-bodied, fruit-forward, and relatively low alcohol compared to other red wines. With its higher acidity and lower tannin, Pinot Noirs are very versatile when it comes to food pairing. The red grapes can also be used to make white, rosé and sparkling wine (Blanc de Noirs).

Originally from Burgundy, the thin-skinned Pinot Noir grape is notoriously hard to grow, demanding optimum growing conditions and favouring cooler, coastal climates.

While many experts still consider the best Pinots to come from Burgundy, it is grown in regions around the world, including Oregon, California, New Zealand, Australia, Chile, France, Spain, Germany, and Italy. The wine's diverse geographical range means that you might also find it labelled as Red Burgundy, Pinot Nero, Blauburgunder, or Spätburgunder.
