The Vernaccia di Oristano DOC "Flor" produced by the historic Contini winery is an enological gem of Sardinia, known for its exclusive complexity and refinement. This wine is made exclusively from Vernaccia grapes, grown in the picturesque area of Oristano, where the Mediterranean climate and particularly suitable soils impart unique characteristics to the vine.
The "Flor" stands out for its peculiar aging process, in which the wine is left to mature in oak barrels under a layer of natural yeast known as "flor". This method not only protects the wine from oxidation but also helps develop an intensely complex and distinctive aromatic bouquet.
Visually, the wine presents a bright golden color with amber reflections. On the nose, it opens with seductive aromas of almond, honey, and notes of dried fruit that blend with delicate hints of spices and vanilla. On the palate, Contini's "Flor" reveals an elegant and balanced structure, with a marked acidity that enhances its freshness. The flavors are persistent, with an almondy aftertaste that invites another sip.
Ideal as an aperitif, this wine is also an excellent accompaniment for fish dishes, shellfish, and aged cheeses. The Vernaccia di Oristano DOC "Flor" represents an impeccable choice for connoisseurs who appreciate wines with a strong territorial connection and a rich historical and cultural expression.
With its unique character and exceptional quality, the Vernaccia di Oristano DOC "Flor" by Contini is destined to surprise and delight even the most discerning palates of wine lovers.
