In the press
92/100 - This vibrant sparkling wine has a very attractive personality and lots of spicy beading. The Contratto 2019 Alta Langa Metodo Classico Blanc de Blancs Pas Dosé opens to pear, unripe peach and preserved lemon. It maintains a bright delivery of flavors with plenty of background freshness. Drink 2023-2033
Viticulture
From Chardonnay vines in the Alta Langhe region. Under organic conversion.
Vinification
100% Chardonnay, from the Bossolasco vineyard at >700m elevation. The most delicate 'flower must' is used, from free-run juice, and after first fermentation, the still wine rests for 9 months in large vats. After second (in-bottle) fermentation, lees-aged for three years. Riddled entirely by hand and finished without dosage.
Food Match
Risotto with Pecorino cheese, oysters and raw fish dishes such as sushi, sashimi and ceviche.
