About Contratto

Contratto can look back on a rich history spanning 150 years. The winery specialises in the Metodo Classico, and for good reason. As early as the 1920s and 1930s, Contratto had the honour of producing fine wines for the Vatican and royal houses. In fact, Contratto wines were exported to and enjoyed in even the most remote corners of the British Empire. Since 2011, Contratto has been owned by the Rivetti family—a highly dedicated and experienced winemaking family that also owns the top winery «La Spinetta». Thanks to its innovative and tireless efforts, Contratto has remained a popular and successful brand.

The region

Piedmont («at the foot of the mountains») in north-western Italy lies along the southern foothills of the Alps. The climatic conditions are demanding: apart from the area around the Po Valley, it is considerably cooler here than in the rest of Italy. Short, dry summers give way to foggy autumns and very cold winters. Piedmont’s winegrowers have risen successfully to this challenge: alongside Tuscany, Piedmont produces more of Italy’s finest wines than any other region, with unmistakably full-bodied, complex aromas shaped by these distinctive climatic conditions. The red grape variety Barbera predominates, followed by Dolcetto and Nebbiolo, which is used to make the famous Barolo. The vines grow at elevations of 150 to 400 m above sea level on a variety of soils—from clay-rich soils that give the wines a complex bouquet to sandy, limestone-rich soils that contribute to a robust structure.
