Founded in 1898 in Cabras, in the heart of the Sinis Peninsula in Sardinia, Contini 1898 is the island’s oldest winery and one of the key names in Italy’s wine heritage. For over 125 years, this family-run business has passed down a genuine passion for viticulture from one generation to the next, preserving traditions whilst incorporating the innovations necessary to ensure the excellence of its wines.
Deeply rooted in its local area, Contini cultivates vineyards spanning over 200 hectares across the Sinis Peninsula, the Tirso Valley, Mount Arci and other iconic Sardinian terroirs. These unique terroirs, influenced by the Mediterranean climate, sea breezes and varied soils ranging from volcanic to sandy, give the wines a remarkable identity and a strong expression of the terroir.
Contini 1898 has made a name for itself in particular through its promotion of indigenous Sardinian grape varieties such as Vernaccia di Oristano, Vermentino, Cannonau, Nieddera and Bovale Sardo. The winery has long been associated with the famous Vernaccia di Oristano, Sardinia’s first DOC wine, of which it remains one of the most prestigious ambassadors to this day.
Over the decades, the Contini family has developed a comprehensive range of red, white, rosé, sparkling and age-worthy wines, recognised both in Italy and internationally.
