Producer: 
Giuseppe Contratto 
Giuseppe Contratto founded his winery in 1867, when he began vinifying Moscato grapes from the Monferrato area to produce one of the first Italian sparkling wines to be re-fermented in the bottle. In those years, the Contratto family began building the historic winery, which was completed in the early 20th century. 

Around 1910, Contratto wines began to conquer foreign markets and became synonymous with prestige and quality in the world of sparkling wines, so much so that the Canelli company became the official supplier to the Vatican, the Belgian Royal Family and, in 1913, the Royal House of Savoy. In 1920, Contratto began producing vermouths and liqueurs. The processing techniques and recipes of that time have remained more or less unchanged, so that the taste of yesteryear can still be tasted today.
