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 Rosé Sparkling Wine is made from the fine Nieddera grapes, native to Sardinia, which give the wine elegance and freshness. Its pale pink color with fine, persistent perlage offers delicate fruity and floral aromas, with hints of strawberry and raspberry. The taste is harmonious, fresh, and lively, perfect as an aperitif or paired with light seafood dishes and fresh cheeses.
Attilio Brut Sparkling Wine is an elegant sparkling wine produced by Cantina Contini, made from a meticulous selection of Vernaccia di Oristano grapes. The vinification follows the Charmat method, with natural fermentation in autoclave, resulting in a fine and persistent perlage.
