Tonaghe · Cannonau di Sardegna DOC 2020

Typical Cannonau di Sardegna of medium color strength and ruby hue. The nose is intense with hints of ripe plums and wild blackberries. The palate is warm and medium-bodied with fine and present structure. - Gerardo [TS12/21]

"Deep ruby-red. Pure, precise aromas of red cherry and dark berries show a delicate smoky quality and a violet topnote. Sweet and straightforward on the palate, offering ripe blackberry and red cherry flavors. Supple tannins make for a soft, shapely wine that is exceptionally easy to drink, but the finish could use more length and nuance." - Ian d'Agata

Tyrsos · Vermentino di Sardegna DOC 2021

The white wine classic from the house Contini: Tyrsos impresses with a delicate straw-yellow color and greenish reflections. The aroma is intense, floral-fruity and always mild. Fresh and tasty on the palate, delicate and refined. - Gerardo [TS12/22]

"With the floral and tasty Vermentino Tyrsos, another Contini white passed our endurance test. - Gambero Rosso

Sartiglia · Cannonau di Sardegna DOC 2019

Maluentu · Rosso Tharros IGT 2018

This Valle del Tirso Rosso is prepared from the native Sardinian grape variety Nieddera. The color in the glass is a clear ruby red with garnet highlights. The nose is intense and fruity of Amarena cherries and some vanilla. The palate is dry, punchy, of noticeable tannin and fine structure.

The Nieddera grape variety is autochthonous (indigenous) to Sardinia, where it is grown almost exclusively in the lower Tirso Valley under favorable climatic conditions. The resulting wines are well structured and discreetly bitter, although not easily accessible. - Gerardo [TS12/19]

Karmis · Isola dei Nuraghi Bianco IGT 2021

Of strong, bright straw yellow is Karmis - a white wine based on Vernaccia. The bouquet is fine and persistent, with pleasant floral fruit nuances. The palate is mild yet full-bodied, with good and persistent spiciness. An interesting wine from the Tirso Valley, between Cabras and Baratili. - Gerardo [TS12/22]

"The surprise of the year is the young, fresh and fragrant Carmis from predominantly Vernaccia." - Gambero Rosso

"The Karmis Cuvèe is a blend of Vernaccia and Vermentino planted in the sandy soils of the Tirso Valley (in the IGT Tharros appellation). The wine boasts a light and forthcoming style with a strong floral component that is contrasted against a tangy, fruity side. It delivers on its promise of freshness and clean simplicity." - Robert Parker

Mamaioa · Isola dei Nuraghi Rosso DOC 2020 (Bio)

Mamaioa shows ruby red color with garnet reflections in the glass. The aroma is vinous and fruity of red fruits, floral meadow and vegetal aromas. Concentrated and fruity on the palate. Despite the presence of fruit sweetness, a red with a strong character.

This relatively new wine in the Contini portfolio was produced entirely without added sulfites and also not filtered. Thus, there may be harmless tartaric deposits at the bottom of the bottle. - Gerardo [TS12/21]

Inu · Cannonau di Sardegna Riserva DOC 2017

The color is a full ruby red with a tendency to garnet hue. The aroma is intense, with hints of cherries, plums and wild blackberries. Full and warm the persistent taste. - Gerardo [TS12/18]

"...and finally the exquisitely typical 'Inu, which smells of violets, roses and ripe fruit." - Gambero Rosso

"Full ruby-red. Deep, complex aromas of black cherry, truffle and clove are complicated by flinty minerals. Very dense but juicy, conveying an impression of brooding energy to its flavors of red cherry, smoky plum and aromatic herb. Still youthfully imploded but displays lovely balance, sneaky concentration and a very long, vibrant finish. Well done." - Ian d'Agata

I Giganti · Isola dei Nuraghi Rosso IGT 2016

The color in the glass is a dark ruby red with garnet highlights. The nose is intense, with hints of red fruits and spices, underpinned by balsamic notes. The palate is soft and warm, balanced by finely honed tannins and freshness. - Gerardo [TS12/17]

The namesake giants are a reference to the giants of Mont'e Prama, formerly freestanding sandstone cult statues of the Sardinian nuragic culture. In 1974, the farmer Sisinnio Poddi plowed out the head of one of these statues on the Sinis Peninsula. The forty years of excavation campaigns brought to light other statues, nuraghe models and wall remains. The age of the giants of Mont'e Prama indicates that the oldest free-standing large sculpture in Europe was created in Sardinia, even before a similar development began in Greece.

The powerful Barrile comes from the lower Tirso Valley and is almost entirely made from the native grape variety Nieddera: the color in the glass is an intense ruby red with garnet inclusions. The aroma is complex and intense, with delicate spicy and fruity notes. The palate is dense and mild, always balsamic and accompanied by pleasant wood spice. - Gerardo [TS12/16]

"Barrile is an austere, dense wine with intense hints of dark red fruit and maquis. On the palate, freshness and spice refine the imposing body, while the soft, silky tannins give it quaffable drinking pleasure." - Gambero Rosso

Antico Gregori · Vernaccia di Oristano DOC 1976

Vernaccia di Oristano Antico Gregori is a cuvée made by the solera method, with a base dating back to the early 1900s and topped up only with the best vintage. Cited by Hugh Johnson as one of the 20 wines to have tasted once in a lifetime.

The aroma is reminiscent of toasted almonds and hazelnuts, intense and complex as the aging that takes place in barrels of precious woods and lasts for decades. Velvety as an embrace, warm and dry as a tropical breeze, ideal for meditation and spicy cheeses. - Gerardo [TS12/77]
