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.
