The Pas Dosé Millesimato 2016 from Contratto is an exquisite sparkling wine that highlights the outstanding characteristics of each individual harvest. This wine has a clear, straw-yellow colour with fine, persistent pearls. On the nose, delicate aromas of white flowers and citrus fruits develop, accompanied by mineral notes. On the palate, it impresses with its freshness and saltiness, which is underlined by a finely structured perlage. The aftertaste is long-lasting

and elegant.

This vintage consists of 80% Pinot Noir and 20% Chardonnay, both of which contribute decisively to the wine's characteristics. Pinot Noir gives the wine structure and complexity, while Chardonnay brings in freshness and finesse. Both grape varieties come from the vineyards in Bossolasco, a region known for its excellent conditions for growing

grapes.

The 2016 vintage was particularly favourable as the weather was stable and mild during the growing season, resulting in high-quality grapes. An interesting fact about this wine is that the second fermentation and subsequent aging take place on the lees for at least 30 months, which contributes to its fine perlage and complex aromas
