In 1867, Giuseppe Contratto started his own winery and refrigerated moscato from Monferrato, creating one of the first sparkling wines to referment in bottles in Italy.

The Contratto family also started construction on their historic cellars at this time, which wouldn't be finished until the turn of the 20th century.

Contratto Wines historic, evocative vaults provide the setting for Contratto's metodo classico sparkling wines' extensive bottle ageing. It is the ideal location for ageing a stock of 1.5 million bottles.

A glass of Alta Langa narrates the narrative of the Piedmontese highlands' enormous potential. Contratto's goal in terms of Metodo Classico is to highlight the critical part that the vineyards play.
