Spumante Special Cuvée Pas Dosé Contratto Riserva 2009

The Spumante Special Cuveè Pas Dosé Riserva of the Contratto winery is a sparkling wine obtained by the best Pinot Nero grapes with a small addition of Chardonnay ones, grown in the oldest vines of the property. After about 6 years of aging on its lees, it shows a splendid golden yellow and fine and persistent bubbles. In the nose it develops a complex and harmonious bouquet, with hints of ripe fruit on a slightly spicy background. In the mouth, it is intense with a good acidity and an aftertaste of apple and custard. It is ideal to drink fresh in combination with elaborate fish courses.

The estate of Cascina Chicco has deep roots in the heart of the Roero and it explains the old rural culture and the passion for vineyards and wine of this territory. His consolidated tradition of wine makers has increased both by oenological modern competences, and by the other vineyards’ acquisitions in the most famous regions of the Roero. Today Cascina Chicco cultivates 35 hectares of vineyards all in hill, and the estate gains, with a great satisfaction, a huge production of Arneis, Nebbiolo d’Alba, Roero, Barbera d’Alba, Favorita and Brachetto.
