BRUTOCAO Chardonnay 2013
Combining their Northern Italian heritage with their California roots, the Brutocao family chose a regal lion to symbolize their proud history. Fittingly, we selected this month’s white wine because it stands out from the crowded jungle of chardonnays. Handpicked grapes and estate-bottled care haven’t tamed the commanding presence of Brutocao Chardonnay.
