96 points Monica Larner (Wine Advocate): "This wine sees seven long years of yeast contact. It celebrates the estate's 150th anniversary (1867-2017). The 2010 Metodo Classico Special Cuvée Pas Dosé is almost entirely Pinot Nero, with a 5% part of Chardonnay from the same site that makes La Spinetta's Lidia. This is a big picture sparkling wine, that when reviewed in its entirety reveals extraordinary balance, intensity and purity. These excellent attributes are lavished over the wine's generously full-bodied approach. Best of all, there is a perfect level of ripeness here that tastes sweet and salty at the same time. Drink: 2018-2040. (Aug 2018)"

Gambero Rosso: "[Contratto is] a property that stands shoulder-to-shoulder with the most prestigious maisons of Champagne, and the experience and energy of a figure like Giorgio Rivetti, are helping to rewrite the history of a sparkling wine producer that's important for both the region and the country. (2021)"
