Contratto adds a touch of Italian romance!<br/><br/>Well known for his now legendary Piedmontese wines, Giorgio Ravetti of La Spinetta  <br/>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. <br/><br/>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.<br/><br/>The result is a superb wine. Classically styled, the <a href="http://grappafinewines.com/vail_cellar_selections" title="Contratto" target="_self">2007 Contratto “Millesimato” Brut </a>displays notes of white fruit, candied almonds and green apples.
