Wine Wednesday | Contratto Aperitivo & Sparkling Wines | Spring in a Glass
April 23 | 5:00–7:00 pm | Boulder Wine Merchant

Spring has officially tapped us on the shoulder, and we’re answering with bubbles, bitters, and a little Northern Italian glamour.

Join us for a special Wine Wednesday tasting featuring the celebrated house of Contratto, one of Italy’s historic names in sparkling wine and aperitivo culture. We’ll be pouring the newly released Contrattino Organic Aperitivo, along with its beautifully crafted non-alcoholic version, plus two sparkling wines from Contratto to complete the experience.

Now guided by the vision of Giorgio Rivetti, Contratto has entered a remarkable new era. Rivetti is widely admired for transforming estates in Piedmont and Tuscany through uncompromising quality and bold imagination. With Contratto, that same energy extends beyond wine into world-class sparkling wines, vermouths, and aperitivi rooted in tradition but tuned for today’s palate.

The new Contrattino Organic Aperitivo is bright, herbaceous, citrus-laced, and wonderfully balanced, equally suited for a spritz, over ice, or simply admired in the glass. Its non-alcoholic counterpart delivers the same botanical charm and bittersweet sophistication, proving that flavor never needs permission from alcohol.

We’re also delighted to welcome our good friend Erin Lewis, co-owner of Giuliana Imports, who will be here to pour the lineup, share stories behind the bottles, and visit with guests throughout the evening.

If spring had a passport stamp, it might look like this tasting.
