Nothing says Valentine’s Day like bubbly. Contratto adds a touch of Italian romance!
Well known for his now legendary Piedmontese wines, Giorgio Ravetti of La Spinetta
has been quietly working at Contratto for five years, determined to restore the glory of the famed Italian estate that produced the first “Method Classico” sparkling wine in Italy.
The Pinot Noir and Chardonnay grapes from Oltrepo Pavese. Rivetti is working closely with grape growers in that area who understand what it means to be a grape grower of quality.
The result is a superb wine. Classically styled, the 2007 Contratto “Millesimato” Brut displays notes of white fruit, candied almonds and green apples. A rich mouthfeel makes this a great bubbly for the dinner table.
