Contratto Bitter blends 24 aromatic botanicals such as bitter & sweet orange peels, rhubarb and cloves with Italian brandy, to give a complex, bitter-sweet flavour, ideal for pre-dinner cocktails.
It is based on an original Contratto recipe dating back to 1933, and its reintroduction is part of a revival of Contratto's range of vermouths and amaros.
As early as the 1890s, Contratto began making vermouths, that were becoming popular in the region around Turin - Vermouth di Torino. Contratto's vermouths also became very popuolar in the '20s and '30s.
Now owned by family-run wine business, La Spinetta, they have reintroduced Contratto to the world, whilst continuing to preserve and uphold its 150-year-old traditions and top quality.
The introduction of Contratto Bitter alongside Contratto vemouths, is part of that revival, with Contratto Bitter based on a recipe from 1933. Designed for mixing in pre-dinner cocktails, Contratto Bitter blends 24 aromatic botanicals such as wormwood, juniper, mint, bitter & sweet orange peels, rhubarb and hibiscus, with sweet clove and cardamom spices, and Italian brandy, to give a complex, bitter-sweet flavour.
