Tasting note
This is an exceptional Blanc de Blancs from the iconic Contratto in Piemonte's premium sparkling wine region, Alta Langa. Rich, baked apple and bread dough notes contrast with the super-zippy lemon zest and eye-popping mineral character. Astonishing, unforgettable wine, with outstanding purity and precision.
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.
