Item Description

Scotto Cellars 2016 Rich & Creamy Chardonnay, nine (9) bottles

The world may not need another Chardonnay, but wine lovers who covet bright fruit flavors, creamy vanilla oak accents and the softer, more elegant flavor profiles that come from malolactic fermentation wish that every Chardonnay could be RICH & CREAMY!

This well-balanced release is unusually versatile and complements richly flavored entrees including seafood with cream sauce and buttery pasta dishes. It’s also a great pour to contrast with sparsely seasoned broiled fish or baked chicken.

Scotto Cellars is a 5th generation, family-owned and managed wine company that treats team members not only as collaborators but as family members that are encouraged to think creatively with a can-do attitude. Everyone at Scotto Cellars is an innovator who believes "we learn more while we listen than when we talk" but doesn’t shy away from expressing our positivity, enthusiasm, passion and honesty in ourselves and more importantly our wines.

As far back as I can remember, we always had people who worked with us at our family’s winery sharing meals and celebrating holidays. My grandfather and father were notorious for extending invitations unbeknownst to my grandmother or mother. A Scotto home continues to be a center of family and a place of inclusion for all who share in Scotto Cellars' values.

Surrounding ourselves with quality people and team members is only useful if and when you listen to what they have to say. One such mentor with whom I have been blessed to share and create Scotto Cellars values is John McClelland. John’s credentials and accomplishments are second to none in the wine business. Gaining knowledge through the act of listening has never been more apparent than through my countless moments hearing of John’s experiences, his guidance and vision.
