Contratto Apertif 1L

I was pleasantly surprised by how the rhubarb and gentian come through without being too bitter—makes a perfect spritz for a warm afternoon. The grape-spirit base gives it a real backbone that cheaper aperitifs lack.

The mix of 28 botanicals gives it such a complex, layered flavor—I love the subtle rhubarb and gentian notes that set it apart from other aperitifs. Makes a perfect spritz without being overly bitter.

This bottle sits at the perfect midpoint between bitter and sweet, and the rhubarb note really comes through on the finish. I've been using it for my afternoon spritzes and it adds a complexity that my usual bottle lacks, without being too heavy for a warm day.
