The Vernaccia di Oristano DOC "Flor" from Contini winery is a magnificent example of how tradition and quality can merge to create a unique and distinctive wine. This Vernaccia stands out for its maturation under a veil of native yeasts, known as "flor," which naturally develops in oak barrels during the long aging period.
This process requires patience and expertise, elements that the Contini family has maintained and perfected over more than a century of wine production.
The color of the Vernaccia di Oristano "Flor" is an intense golden yellow, which alone suggests its richness. On the nose, it offers a complex and nuanced bouquet: notes of almond, honey, candied fruit, and touches of vanilla blend with the slightly oxidative aroma that is characteristic of this style of wine. On the palate, the wine is warm, enveloping and surprisingly fresh, maintaining a superb balance between acidity and alcohol, with a long and persistently aromatic finish.
This is a wine that not only tells the story of a region but also the winemaking art that has brought this native variety to a level of international excellence. The Vernaccia di Oristano "Flor" by Contini is ideal to be served at temperatures between 12 and 14°C, accompanying flavorful dishes such as seafood risotto, aged cheeses, or white meat preparations. A true jewel of Sardinia that deserves to be discovered and appreciated by connoisseurs and newcomers to the wine world.
