Attilio Contini Description
100% Vernaccia fermented with indigenous yeasts
Vernaccia di Oristano is the oldest DOC in Sardegna, founded in 1971
Vernaccia di Oristano has been Contini’s flagship wine for 120 years
From the Province of Oristano, mid-western coast of Sardegna
Alluvial, sandy, slightly clayey soils
After the traditional white winemaking process with soft pressing and temperature-controlled fermentation, the wine matures in non-topped-off oak and chestnut barrels (known as “Caratelli”) for at least 4 years
The oxygenation, together with the constant temperature range, allows the formation of the “Flor”, a film of yeasts that gives the wine its characteristic sherry-like aromas
