To achieve the typical rosé colour, the juice remains in contact with the skins for about an hour and a half.

The wine then undergoes a prolonged \u003cstrong\u003eageing on the lees\u003c\/strong\u003e of at least seventy months, which gives the structure remarkable breadth. The process concludes with the traditional \u003cstrong\u003emanual riddling\u003c\/strong\u003e and a dosage of eight grams per litre.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHistory and Curiosities\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Cuvée Novecento Rosé Brut 2018 celebrates the fascinating history of Contratto, one of the oldest sparkling wine houses in Italy.
