Contratto Cuvee Novecento Metodo Classico Rosè Brut 2018

Contratto Cuvee Novecento Metodo Classico Rosè Brut 2018 is an elegant Italian sparkling rosé that celebrates one of the country’s oldest names in metodo classico production. Made from Pinot Noir in Piedmont, it combines finesse, complexity, and a refined, persistent mousse, making it a distinctive bottle for memorable occasions.

Tasting Notes
With its onion-skin pink hue, the wine immediately shows a graceful and delicate style in the glass. The nose opens with hints of raspberry and blackcurrant, layered with notes of toasted croissant, spices, and a touch of thyme. On the palate, it offers a charming fusion of fine berry fruit with subtle citrus and grapefruit accents, creating a fresh yet structured profile. The perlage is delicate but persistent, and the finish is long, intense, and refined, suggesting very good drinking now with the potential to evolve beautifully over the next few years.

Production
Produced in Piedmont from Pinot Noir using the traditional metodo classico, this rosé reflects both the character of the grape and the cool-climate precision of the region. The style is built on careful harvesting and a patient secondary fermentation in bottle, which helps preserve freshness while developing the wine’s layered texture and toasted complexity.

Food & Serving
This sparkling rosé pairs wonderfully with smoked salmon, sushi, shellfish, charcuterie, light poultry dishes, and creamy risotto. Serve well chilled at around 6–8°C, and decanting is not recommended; simply open and enjoy to preserve its vibrant mousse and aromatic detail.
