Contini Vini

In the first half of October, a fantastic harvest takes place in Sardinia, in the Alto Campidano region, at the gates of the Tirso River Valley and Sinis: the Contini winery mobilizes and harvests the Cannonau grapes to produce an exceptional dry red wine. After the harvest, the maceration process lasts for about two weeks, followed by a double aging process.

Sartiglia Cannonau di Sardegna DOC is a red wine produced by Cantina Contini, one of the historic wineries of Sardinia, renowned for its high-quality wine production. Sartiglia is a Cannonau di Sardegna DOC wine that showcases the typical characteristics of Cannonau, the most iconic grape variety of Sardinia. The wine is distinguished by its deep ruby color, which tends to take on garnet hues with aging. It has an intense aroma, with vinous notes and hints of red fruits like plum and blackberries. On the palate, Sartiglia is warm, full-bodied, and structured, with a complex finish that becomes more refined as it ages. Its richness pairs perfectly with dishes such as grilled red meats, game, and aged, flavorful cheeses.

This, Contini's first organic wine, is good for nature and the palate. Red like a ladybird and unspoiled, like the land the vineyard lies in, it is the symbol of a great love for Sardinia. Its intense aroma is reminiscent of red fruits, fragrant and vinous like the sun as it rises above the vines. Its violet hues enhance its red colour and its smooth flavour rolls over the palate. It loves the strong flavours of first courses, meat and fish dishes.

Created to promote the famous Vernaccia variety, over the years it has become one of the company’s iconic wines. The bouquet is delicate like a young woman and lingers like the memory of a meeting. It is the colour of the sun that shines brilliantly on a hot summer’s day. Karmis loves seafood but also has a soft spot for white meat with light sauces. Like every good white wine, it just adores aperitifs.

Attilio Contini, one of the winery’s founders, could never have imagined his name would have become synonymous with conviviality. The ancient Nieddera variety, which is now a sparkling wine, is the perfect meeting of opposites that cannot live without each other: the sun and the moon, fire and air, the land and the sea. Its bouquet is as subtle as a stolen kiss and as embracing as a refound kiss. Its pale pink colour is the colour of dawn over the sea, clear and unforgettable. Attilio Rosé adores aperitifs and prefers seafood. But it also gets on well with vegetables and meat, especially white meat.

Its bouquet is as subtle as a breath of spring air and as enjoyable as an unexpected flower. The bubbles sparkle in the glass and tickle the palate. This wine loves seafood but also appreciates white meat with light sauces and vegetable stews. But its favourite time of day is aperitif time.
