Description
Special Cuvé Extra Brut Metodo Classico VSQ by Contratto
A sparkling wine of great personality, designed for those seeking elegance, precision, and depth in the glass. The Special Cuvé Extra Brut Metodo Classico VSQ by Contratto is born from a refined balance between Pinot Noir and Chardonnay, with a style that combines freshness, aromatic complexity, and a taste structure of great finesse. Long aging on the lees and zero dosage complete a dry, clear, and modern profile, ideal for those who wish to buy wine online with an authoritative and versatile character.
Territory and wine style
This Quality Sparkling Wine interprets the Classic Method with a rigorous and dynamic cut. The predominant presence of Pinot Noir provides structure, definition, and depth, while Chardonnay contributes to momentum, finesse, and harmony. The prolonged aging on the lees, of about 72 months, enriches the profile with complexity and a creamy texture, without losing tension. The result is an extra brut sparkling wine with a sober yet intense character, suitable for those who appreciate Italian wines capable of combining technical precision and immediate pleasure.
Tasting notes
In the glass, it presents itself with an intense golden yellow, bright and inviting. On the nose, clear and defined aromas of citrus, toasted notes, and evolving nuances reminiscent of nougat and dried apricots emerge. On the palate, it is fresh, complex, and very fine, with a creamy and delicate bubble that accompanies the sip with elegance. The minerality is pronounced and supports a clean, dry, and persistent finish, in perfect balance between energy and expressive maturity.
Recommended pairings
The Special Cuvé Extra Brut Metodo Classico VSQ is perfect with seafood appetizers, raw fish, tartare, oysters, and shellfish, but it also pairs well with more structured dishes such as delicate risottos, white meats, light fried foods, and not overly salty aged cheeses. Its freshness and mineral drive make it interesting even throughout the meal, especially when looking for pairings that enhance the purity of the Classic Method.
Serving temperature
Serve the Special Cuvé Extra Brut Metodo Classico VSQ at a temperature of 6-8 °C, to enhance its freshness, finesse of the perlage, and aromatic complexity. It does not require decantation; it is preferable to open it gently just before serving, in order to preserve its vivacity and brilliance.
