About the Producer:
When Jaume II “the
Just” of Aragon drove the Pisan out of Sardegna in the 14th
century, his countrymen added a Spanish zest to the island’s
unique culture. The Spaniards discovered that Sardegna’s
dry, windy climate was ideal for the ‘Canonazo’ or
Cannonau vines they cultivated at home, and the natives quickly
adopted the grape as their own. Known elsewhere as Granaxa, Garnacha,
or Grenache, Cannonau is now Sardegna’s most widely planted
varietal.
Founded in 1898, Contini is among the oldest and most
prestigious wineries in Sardegna. Known for classic Vernaccia early
on and winning Milan’s gold medal in 1912, the range now
includes modern-style whites and indigenous reds.
