Scattante is Performance Bike's house brand. It is a decent bike with an aluminum frame and a Shimano 105 drivetrain. They are saving a little bit of money by using a FSA BB and crankset and Tektro brakes, but they are still good components. This is a great bike for the money. The only thing that I would change is the wheelset, but then I am not a fan of Alex wheels. The set that they use on the Scattante R-570 are good enough though.
