The red americano di Contratto is made by blending wine from Cortese grapes, sugar, alcohol and extracts of natural herbs, spices, roots and seeds. The aromas are derived from the extraction of 25 botanicals including aloe, juniper, liquorice, mint, rhubarb and many others. Thanks to cold extraction and the use of a hydro-alcoholic solution that irrigates the powders of the botanicals for about twenty days, all aromatic substances can be extracted. The vermouth is matured in steel tanks for about 40 days.
It is a versatile product that can be paired with both cheese and pastry. The recommended serving temperature is between 6/8°C.
Distillates have different alcoholpercentages. So, we have defined a parameter allowing you to better understand and compare different prices. This parameter is calculated by dividing the bottle price by the alcohol content. The alcohol content (or strength) is the amount of pure alcohol (ethanol) contained in the distillate.
This parameter indicates the price of a single 4cl dosage of distillate. It is calculated by dividing the price of the bottle by its quantity (expressed in cl), then multiplying by the centilitres of the recommended single dose, as average in cocktail recipes.
