Piedmont

In the 1920s and 1930s, Italy experienced its “golden age” in the world of spirits: aperitifs and bitters began to take over bars around the world! Then, in 1936, came the boom: the TONIC NORMAL G. CONTRATTO CANELLI aperitif was born, becoming famous thanks to its iconic image of a smiling man drawn by Mario Gros, a renowned illustrator of the time And it is from these masterpieces of the past that we drew inspiration to create CONTRATTINO!

There are two versions – Alcoholic and Non-Alcoholic

Alcoholic version – 100% certified organic ingredients: medicinal plants, rhubarb, and quinine blended with a refined floral touch of elderflower and rose. The explosive freshness of citrus fruits, such as orange and lime, makes every sip irresistible. The pink color, derived from black carrot, adds a unique touch. Blended with sparkling water and fortified with organic neutral spirit to an alcohol content of 5.5%.

Non-Alcoholic – 100% certified organic ingredients: medicinal plants, rhubarb, and quinine blended with a refined floral touch of elderflower, rose and ginger. The explosive freshness of citrus fruits, such as orange and lime, makes every sip irresistible. The pink color, derived from black carrot, adds a unique touch. Blended with sparkling water.

Spirits

CONTRATTINO (5.5% ABV)

The Italian ritual of the aperitivo—that unhurried moment when the day softens into evening and conversation matters more than time. Inspired by the café culture of northern Italy, where lightly bitter, sparkling drinks have long marked the transition from work to leisure.  CONTRATTINO sparkling aperitivo is a certified organic, lightly sparkling aperitivo that expresses freshness, balance, and botanical complexity.  Crafted with carefully selected all natural and organic ingredients, including black carrot for its color, it delivers a refined interplay of gentle bitterness, citrus brightness, and aromatic herbs, designed to stimulate the palate without overwhelming it. Both versions are ideal served chilled, on their own or over ice, and equally suited as a base for modern aperitivo cocktails. with its organic certification, historic inspiration, and contemporary versatility, CONTRATTINO redefines the sparkling aperitivo for today— rooted in 1936, created for now.
