Description
The Contratto Special Cuvée Metodo Classico Extra Brut 2011 is a Piedmontese sparkling wine made from a blend of 90% Pinot Noir and 10% Chardonnay. For the 2011 vintage it undergoes bottle fermentation followed by extended lees ageing of about 72 months, and is labeled as Vino Spumante di Qualità. The wine shows an intense yellow‑gold color with aromas of citrus and toasted yeast; on the palate it offers dried fruit notes, marked minerality and fine, creamy bubbles.
