The Spumante Blanc de Blancs Alta Langa Pas Dosé by Contratto is an excellence that is born in the Piedmontese hills, a territory renowned for quality viticulture and ideal conditions that give the wine elegance and complexity. Made exclusively with Chardonnay grapes from the vineyards of the Alta Langa DOCG denomination, this sparkling wine expresses purity and character through the choice of a classic production method, with secondary fermentation in the bottle and prolonged aging on the lees.

The result is a wine with a very fine and persistent perlage, with a bright and transparent straw-yellow color. On the nose, fragrant notes of citrus, fresh white flowers, and a light yeast scent emerge, which give minerality and structure. On the palate, it is dry, fresh, and savory, with a vibrant acidity that accompanies a clean finish without residual sugars, typical of the pas dosé dosage, which enhances the purity of the fruit and aromatic complexity.

Ideal with seafood appetizers, raw fish, and delicate dishes, this sparkling wine is capable of enhancing special moments with its refinement and natural elegance.

Winery history
Founded by Giuseppe Contratto in 1867 in Canelli, the estate began by vinifying Moscato grapes and producing bottle‑fermented sparkling wines. In the early decades of the twentieth century Contratto wines gained foreign markets and royal contracts; in 1919 the company produced Italy’s first vintage sparkling wine. From 1920 the production of vermouth and liqueurs was added. The Contratto family remained at the helm until 1993, when the company passed to the Bocchino family; subsequently, in 2011, ownership was acquired by the Rivetti family, who have relaunched Metodo Classico production and expanded its presence in Alta Langa.
Production philosophy
A range focused on vineyard quality and respect for the land: careful vineyard management, low yields, and agronomic practices aimed at organic farming, with the goal of expressing the land’s identity through long-aged sparkling wines.
Terroir and vineyards
Historic headquarters in Canelli, in the province of Asti. The estate also operates vineyards in Alta Langa for Pinot Noir and Chardonnay; the historic underground cellars carved into tuff are an asset for the aging of Metodo Classico wines.
Awards and recognitions
Numerous recognitions from guides and critics.
