Descrizione

The Spumante Asti De Miranda by Contratto is an authentic expression of the Asti region, famous for its production of sweet and fragrant bubbles. Made exclusively from Moscato Bianco grapes, grown in the hilly vineyards of the area, this sparkling wine reflects the brightness and freshness typical of the grape variety, known for its intense aromas of orange blossom, white peach, and honeyed hints.

Refermentation takes place carefully according to the Martinotti method, which preserves the genuineness and delicacy of the varietal aromas, ensuring fine and persistent bubbles. Of a pale straw yellow color, the De Miranda surprises the nose with enveloping and inviting scents, while the palate reveals itself fresh, sweet but balanced, thanks to a well-calibrated acidity that enhances its drinkability.

Perfect as an aperitif, it pairs splendidly with fruit-based desserts and light pastries, but it is also suitable for unusual pairings with spicy Asian cuisine or dishes based on fresh cheeses. A Piedmontese excellence that celebrates the sparkling wine tradition with elegance and style.

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.
