Description

The 2022 Contratto Alta Langa Millesimato is a refined vintage sparkling wine from Piedmont, produced by the historic Contratto estate, one of Italy's pioneering traditional-method producers. Crafted under the prestigious Alta Langa DOCG designation, it offers elegant aromas of green apple, lemon zest, white peach and citrus blossom, complemented by subtle notes of brioche, toasted nuts and fresh pastry.

On the palate, it is crisp and beautifully balanced, with fine, persistent bubbles and bright acidity supporting flavours of citrus, orchard fruit and delicate savoury nuances. The texture is creamy yet precise, leading to a long, dry finish with impressive freshness and complexity.

Ben's Recommendation:
At Wine More Cellars, this is an excellent choice for those seeking a premium Italian sparkling wine with elegance, depth and finesse. Enjoy now while its freshness and fine mousse are at their best, or cellar for a few years to gain additional complexity. Pairs beautifully with oysters, sashimi, smoked salmon, fresh seafood and light canapés.

About the region

Piedmont

Piedmont, or Piemonte, sits in Italy's north-west under the Alps. Its great grape is Nebbiolo, which ripens late, is often picked in autumn fog, and reaches its fullest expression in the Langhe hills at Barolo and Barbaresco. Those wines are pale and firmly tannic when young, and turn to tar, dried rose and truffle with age. Alongside them Barbera and Dolcetto supply the everyday reds, and Moscato d'Asti the sweet, lightly sparkling whites.
