Contratto Alta Langa For England Blanc de Noir Pas Dosé 2019
The For England was so named in 1930 when Contratto started to produce low-dosage wine for the English market. At that time, all Champagnes were extremely sweet and the Royal Family was the first in Europe to prefer a drier wine. The For England produced today is a Zero Dosage wine without liqueur d'expedition and is a wine of great personality, between fruity and toasty notes complemented by an intriguing tastiness. A great wine!

Perlage

Very fine.

Colour

Deep gold.

Bouquet

Complex and deep with aromas of cedar, toasted salted almonds, lemon cream, and candied ginger, followed by a closing mineral vein.

Flavour

Vertical tasting, almost sharp with great tastiness and freshness. It continues with a strong vein followed by saline and citrus persistence.

Pairing

Ideal as an apéritif, white meat and fish.
