Contratto Alta Langa Millesimato Pas Dosé 2020
"A blend of 80% Pinot Nero and 20% Chardonnay, the Metodo Classico Millesimato Pas Dosé ages on the yeasts for 5 years. Riddling is done by hand. This is a medium-bodied sparkling wine that borders closely on being full-bodied. The mouthfeel is beautifully creamy and rich with abundant apricot, honey and sweet almond. I tasted this wine after 30 wines: from Barolos and Barbarescos, and I cannot exaggerate how delicious and appealing this wine ultimately proved to be" (Robert Parker).

Perlage

Fine and persistent.

Colour

Gold yellow.

Bouquet

Elegant and subtle with sensations that evoke cedar peel, acacia honey and strawberry blossom for a fine toast.

Flavour

Dynamic, defined and tasty with good creaminess.

Pairing

Ideal as an apéritif.
