CONTRATTO ITALY, LOMBARDY/PIEDMONT The original recipe from the early 19th century for Contratto Vermouth is based on a combination of white wine fortified with Italian brandy and more than 50 delicately infused premium natural herbs, spices, roots and seeds. Contratto Americano Rosso 33PF / 750ML / 2 COP Americano is another version of a vermouth and is also based on white wine. Just like the vermouth, Americano draws from much the same pool of botanicals, and their classification or style is a question of the intent behind the proprietary formulation. Contratto’s Americano production follows the traditional method of cold flavor extraction (maceration). Italian brandy is poured over the herb and spice combination at cold temperature.

Americano Bianca is based on white wine from Italy’s Piedmont region, fortified then aromatized using botanicals including cinchona, gentian and citrus. Cocchi Americano is crisp and citrusy with a delicate bitter edge and gives many of the classics new life, with the bitter element playing an effective counterpoint to the other flavors in the drink.
