Description

Contini Vernaccia di Oristano is produced in the Lower Tirso Valley, an area characterized by a Mediterranean climate, limited rainfall, and very hot, breezy summers. The older vines are trained using bush vines and the younger ones using espaliers. Soft pressing and temperature-controlled fermentation lead the wine to a long aging period of approximately 10 years in small oak and chestnut barrels, traditionally kept empty to allow the development of the characteristic layer of yeast known as 'flor,' which is responsible for the unmistakable aromas of Vernaccia di Oristano.
