!["Flor" Vernaccia di Oristano DOC 2019 secco]()
“Flor” Vernaccia di Oristano DOC 2019 secco
This masterly Vernaccia matures for 4 years in small Caratello barrels, whose natural shrinkage is never refilled so that the yeast flor, which is very characteristic of this Vernaccia, forms on the surface and not only produces the characteristic aromas, but is also the eponym here.
Bright ochre yellow with golden reflections. Rich, complex bouquet of apricot and orange zest, rounded off by a delicate almond scent and warm honey notes. A wonderful texture and freshness on the palate, the yellow-fruity primary aromas are present, joined by a fine salty vein with a mineral note on the finish. Chilled as an aperitif or at approx. 16°C with dessert, an absolute delight! SUPERIORE.DE
"An unprecedented and unforgettable Vernaccia, with a production process of great refinement, one of the pinnacles of island wine. Nose with complex notes, apricot, toasted walnut, orange blossom and orange peel, palate of magnetic crispness." Luca Gardini

At the Azienda Vinicola Attilio Contini wine connoisseurs involuntarily think of the legendary Vernaccia di Oristano. Located near Cabras, a medieval fishing village on the west coast of Sardinia in the province of Oristano and founded by Salvatore Contini about 120 years ago, the family winery continues to offer this glorious and originally most important, but less and less traded fine wine as a speciality. In the course of time, however, other wines of high quality full of character have found their way into the now very extensive range of Attilio Contini. The oldest winery on the Mediterranean island has undergone many changes and innovations in the course of its history. Today he is very passionately and competently continued by his grandchildren and great-grandchildren according to the local tradition of his founder.
Just a few kilometres from Oristano, the winery with its 80 hectares of vineyards is situated in the heart of the Sinis Peninsula marine reserve. The sun-drenched fields rise above the Tirso valley and are located on the slopes of Monte Arci. A fresh sea breeze gives the Attilio Contini wines a slightly salty minerality. In the 1980s, the family began to explore the potential of historical autochthonous grape varieties. It has been instrumental in upgrading Sardinian varieties such as Cannonau and Vermentino. The extremely interesting, but not very widespread Nieddera have saved the Continis from oblivion, along with a few other winegrowers from Sardinia.
With no prejudice to the merits of modern wine-growing technology, Attilio Contini continues the tradition of progress. The winery is known for special, very fascinating wines of high expressiveness. The spectrum of typical and terroir-true labels is broad: it ranges from old Vernaccia Riserve to impressive red and white plants. In order to underline a special closeness to nature, some wines without sulphite additives are produced in the cellar under the aegis of the creative and innovative oenologist Piero Cella.
The long history of Attilio Contini has always been accompanied by a great deal of attention and recognition from the wine critics. Already in 1912 and 1913 Vernaccia wines of the family were awarded gold medals at the International Exhibition in Milan. In 1989 the wine guide Gambero Rossoselected the winery as the first Sardinian winery with the coveted Tre bicchieri. SUPERIORE.DE
