This Cannonau di Sardegna demonstrates the strong link between the Contini Winery and the historical and cultural roots of Sardinia: the Sartiglia is one of the oldest equestrian events that takes place during the Carnival period in Oristano. It is produced with Cannonau grapes and other local red grapes grown on soils of volcanic origin. After the harvest, soft pressing takes place, fermentation in contact with the skins, and finally rest for a year in casks, with subsequent aging in a bottle for 6 months.
Appearance: Ruby red colour.
Nose: It is rich and fruity with hints of ripe cherry, plum, and blackberry.
Taste: It is a warm and full-bodied wine, with an excellent structure and a long persistence.
Food pairings: An excellent wine to accompany main courses of meat and game. Irresistible with Sardinian pecorino with myrtle.
About the producer: Founded in 1898, the estate now boasts four generations of family ownership, as well as 120+ years of operational know-how. The estate has remained true to its origins: even though Vernaccia di Oristano has fallen off the radar of international wine lovers, it is still a focus of the estate. The history of the Vernaccia grape, indigenous to Sardinia with no relation to any other common varieties, likely stretches back to the arrival of the Phoenicians in Sardinia 4000 years ago, and its first written mention was in the 14th century. The wine Vernaccia di Oristano was also the first DOC established in Sardinia in 1971. Referred to as an enological treasure by the Gambero Rosso, this wine, produced “sous voile,” is certainly one of Italy’s most unique vinous expressions! But beyond this, the estate also excels with both Vermentino and Cannonau grown in a variety of terroirs on the island.
