Tasting Notes “The Contratto 2017 Alta Langa Metodo Classico Rosé Pas Dosé For England opens to a pale cranberry-pink color with amber highlights. The beading is fine and silky. In terms of this sparkler's aromas, you get tart citrus and lots of grapefruit with some orchard fruit, toast and crushed mineral. This wine shows a steely, tonic and firm personality.” -WA

The Story
This is a gorgeous pale pink rosato, made from the estate’s oldest vineyards of Pinot Noir. Bright fruit
and attractive, fresh perfumes of tangerine peel, orange, mint and cranberry give the wine a refreshing
vitality and energy. In the mouth, the For England is a precise and sculpted sparkling rosè whose vibrant
acidity lends sharp, linear edges and an undeniable appeal.
