Contratto's For England is a sparkling wine with a long history. It was produced for the first time in 1920 with the precise task of delighting the palate of English consumers, who were used to drier wines than those produced in Italy at the time. This Rosé, in particular, comes from a pure processing of Pinot Noir grapes from the company's vineyards in Bossolasco. After destemming, the grapes pass through the press without being crushed and, from the simple draining of the berries, the first-pressing must is obtained. This remains in contact with the skins for about an hour and a half, enriching its colour and complexity. This is followed by a first fermentation in temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks and a second in the bottle. Overall, the wine remains in contact with its yeasts for at least 42 months. After disgorging, the bottles are refilled with wine only, with no added sugar. The result is a beautiful sparkling wine with a pink onion skin colour and a fine, enveloping perlage. On the nose, floral and nectarine notes stand out. In the mouth it is above all fresh and well persistent, with hints of lime and apple. Intense and generous, it goes well with spaghetti with clams or a delicious mixed fried fish.
