Decanter (93)- "Subtle and understated, but with a wealth of detail on the nose: lime, green apple, spring blossom and a hint of bread crust. Intense, nervy, bone-dry attack with a very fine-textured mousse in the mid-palate; the finish tapers slightly, but remains uncompromisingly dry, savoury and finessed."
Vinous Media (91)- "Nuances of brioche and raw almond blend with Asian pear as the 2021 Alta Langa Pas Dosé Blanc de Blancs blossoms in the glass. It is elegant in feel, displaying a lovely richness matched by ripe fruits and contrasted by a saturation of salty minerals. Hints of butterscotch and custard remain while maintaining fantastic freshness through the finish. These are vibrant, energetic wines that display remarkable purity and complexity. Despite their zero-to-low dosage, they also possess remarkable richness and balance. Contratto delivers some of the finest examples of Alta Langa."
Falstaff Magazine (94)- "Intense straw yellow colour with persistent mousse. Aromas of yellow peach, pineapple and bitter almonds on the nose, with subtle hints of wet stone and citrus fruit. Juicy on the palate, with great raciness and well-integrated acidity, yellow-fruited flavours, brisk, slightly salty finish, harmonious aftertaste."
