Tasting Notes
Contratto Bianco Vermouth is a classic Italian aperitif that brings together a base of Cortese white wine with a complex infusion of over 50 herbs, spices, roots, and seeds. This meticulous blend includes botanicals like hawthorn, coriander, chamomile, and ginger, contributing to its fresh and harmonious character.
Bottled at 17.5% ABV, this vermouth offers a sweet and complex profile with vibrant citrus notes and a hint of sage and mint. It's versatile enough to be enjoyed on its own with a twist of lemon, over ice, or as a sophisticated component in classic and contemporary cocktails. - Aaron C
Arguably Italy’s most important fine wine region, Piedmont is synonymous with Nebbiolo, Barolo, and Barbaresco. It’s also home to a wide array of other compelling reds and whites that range from the austere to the juicy and joyful.
LOCATION:
Northwest Italy, bordering France and Switzerland, with the Alps to the north and the Apennines to the south.
TERROIR:
Rolling hills and foggy mornings define Langhe and Roero. Soils are mostly calcareous marl with sandy or clay-rich layers depending on the site. Continental climate with cold winters and warm summers.
VARIETIES:
Nebbiolo is king, producing powerful, tannic reds. Barbera and Dolcetto round out the red trio. For whites, look to Arneis, Cortese (Gavi), and Timorasso. Moscato is important in the Asti area.
