Contini Tonaghe Cannonau di Sardegna 2022

Contini is a prestigious wine producer from Sardinia who have been crafting exceptional wines for over a century. Founded in 1898, Contini has remained a family-run operation dedicated to preserving the rich winemaking traditions of Sardinia while embracing modern techniques. Nestled in the heart of the island, their vineyards benefit from the unique terroir, characterized by a blend of Mediterranean climate, mineral-rich soils, and coastal breezes. This perfect combination allows Contini to produce wines that are not only reflective of Sardinia’s distinct character but also of exceptional quality and complexity.

Among their renowned offerings, their Cannonau di Sardegna (Grenache) stole the show for me in the red wine department. Cannonau di Sardegna is a treat – a juicy, intense and ultra giving wine that is both fruity and nuanced, with great balance and no shortage of personality. These are high-acid food friendly wines that demand more attention. I think this is the kind of wine that people will absolutely love.
