an all Italian lineup
Contratto Brut Millesimato 2008.. pinot noir based sparkling.. very heavy in style.. from the pinot.. mousse is okay but overall not impressed
La Spinetta Vermentino 2011.. surprisingly tropical in nature. lots of upfront fruit... an interesting alternative to everyday Italian pinot grigio.
La Spinetta Barbera "Ca di Pain' fruity.2009. with chocolate and mocha notes.. working the tastebuds .. kind of cough syrup heaviness
La Spinetta Langhe Nebbiolo 2010 rustic in color long finish. dark fruits.. nice example of the grape
Ciacci Brunello di Montalcino 2008 tobacco on the nose, old time candy fruits.. lots of tannin. needs to settle
Pira Barolo Cannubi 2007 loads of tannin.. dusty nose, clean and round long flavors on the end.. Pira has the first Italian women winemaker...
Contratto Vermouth Bianco.. made from the Cortese grape.. a soapy nose, very aromatic.. fortified with brandy.. not the M & R version.. a touch anise
Contratto Vermouth Rosso used a coloring accent with the cortese grapes. also West Indian spices like kumen.. just a tad hot
