Descrizione

The Spumante Bacco d’Oro Brut by Contratto is born in the heart of the Langhe, a territory famous for its winemaking tradition and excellence in the production of sparkling wines. This classic method, made mainly with traditional Piedmontese grape varieties such as Pinot Nero and Chardonnay, reflects a perfect balance between freshness and complexity. The prolonged aging on the lees gives this sparkling wine a refined creaminess, with a fine and persistent perlage that enhances its elegance.

The bouquet opens with hints of white flowers, green apple, and a delicate note of bread crust, the result of careful maturation that highlights the territory's typicity. On the palate it is lively, savory, and harmonious, with a finish that invites the next sip. Thanks to its versatility and freshness, the Bacco d’Oro Brut by Contratto pairs beautifully with seafood dishes, light appetizers, and white meats, but is also perfect as an aperitif to elevate every tasting occasion with beauty 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.
