Contratto Barolo 1958

Excellent condition, check images Giuseppe Contratto founded his winery in 1867, when he began vinifying moscato from Monferrato, producing one of the first Italian sparkling wines refermented in the bottle. During this same time the Contratto family began building its historic cellars, that would finally be finished in the beginning of the 20th century. Around 1910 Contratto began to export their wines. Contratto had great success in foreign markets and the winery became synonymous with prestige and quality in the world of sparkling wines, so much so that the winery became the official wine supplier for the Vatican, the Belgian royal house, and in 1913 the royal family Savoy. In 1919 Contratto produced its first vintage Italian sparkling, an innovative choice on the part of the Piedmontese sparkling house which aimed to highlight the characteristics of a single vintage.We invite buyers who wish to receive an invoice to send us a message once the purchase has been made.
