There are many small Italian wineries that have grown and developed over the years thanks to the passion handed down from father to son. Among these, a place of honour goes to the Sardinian Contini, founded in 1898 and since then jealously guarded by members of the historic Oristano family. First Salvatore, then Attilio, today Paolo and grandsons Alessandro and Mauro. Four generations. For over a century, the Contini name has been identified with Vernaccia di Oristano. Over the years, Vernaccia has been joined by other important productions, such as Nieddera, Vermentino and Cannonau. Today the Company is a solid regional reality, able to sell its good products in many different markets. But it is on the island, a few kilometres from the sea, that Contini's heart continues to beat. And all you have to do to understand that is to uncork any of their bottles. They have Sardinia in them!
