The Contratto Rosso Vermouth NV is a richly flavoured Italian vermouth from Piedmont, produced by the historic Contratto house, renowned for its heritage in aperitif wines and traditional Italian botanicals. Crafted from quality wine infused with a blend of herbs, spices and natural extracts, it offers aromas of dried orange peel, dark cherry, baking spices and aromatic herbs.

On the palate, it is smooth and complex, with flavours of bitter orange, red berries, warm spice and herbal notes balanced by gentle sweetness. The texture is rich yet refined, leading to a long, bittersweet finish with impressive depth and aromatic persistence.

Ben's Recommendation:
At Wine More Cellars, this is a fantastic vermouth for classic cocktail enthusiasts and lovers of traditional Italian aperitifs. Enjoy over ice, with soda, or as a key ingredient in cocktails such as a Negroni, Manhattan or Americano. Pairs beautifully with charcuterie, olives, aged cheeses, roasted nuts and savoury antipasto.

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.
