Contratto produces sparkling and still wines from Piemonte in northern Italy. The winery's flagship sparkling wines—Cuvée Novecento Pas Dosé and Special Cuvée Pas Dosé—are built from Chardonnay and Pinot Nero, the classic pairing for dry, mineral-driven méthode champenoise. Both have earned ratings of 94 from prestige critics including Wine Spectator, Wine Enthusiast, Decanter, Wine Advocate, and Falstaff. The Americano Rosso, a still red wine, matches that same prestige rating. Piemonte's continental climate and limestone-rich soils favor the precision and structure these wines display—the sparkling wines in particular show the acidity and complexity that define serious Italian spumante. Contratto's focus on Chardonnay and Pinot Nero reflects the region's tradition of elegant, food-friendly wines rather than heavy extraction.
