The Contratto 2017 Asti Spumante De Miranda offers a classic expression from Asti that brings me back a few years in time. It's been a while since I've tasted Asti Spumante, and I am now reminded of how distinctive and unique this category is. The bouquet is sweet, yet there are some savory and balsamic notes meshed within. Ripe apple, white plum and sweet almond all come into play. I tasted quite a bit of apple here.
