Azienda Vinicola Attilio Contini Spa

About the Winery

Founded in 1898, Contini is proud to be the first and oldest winery in Sardinia, a legacy we owe to our visionary founder, Salvatore Contini, and his wife, Anna Maria Dessì. Our story is deeply rooted in the island's history, with our vineyards spanning over 200 hectares across Sardinia. The heart of our vineyards lies in the Sinis Peninsula, nestled in the Tirso Valley and on the slopes of Monte Arci, where the unique terroir creates the perfect conditions for cultivating exceptional grapes. Each of our vineyard locations benefits from distinct pedoclimatic characteristics, allowing us to produce wines that truly capture the essence of Sardinia. Visitors to our winery can expect not just a taste of our wines, but a journey through the rich history and culture of Sardinian winemaking.

About the Wines

At Contini, we produce a wide range of wines that are celebrated both in Italy and internationally. Our portfolio is constantly evolving, as we embrace new winemaking techniques while honoring the traditions of our island. We are particularly proud of our commitment to reviving local autochthonous grape varieties such as Nieddera, Caddiu, and Muristellu (Sardinian Bovale), which add unique flavors and depth to our wines. The core of our vineyards is located in the historic Sinis region, especially in the lower Tirso Valley, where these ancient vines thrive. Each bottle from Contini is a testament to the richness of Sardinia’s terroir, crafted with passion and a deep respect for our land.

Recommended for getting to know Sardinian wines
The experience is great, the winery has a beautiful space, done with taste. We were attended by Alberto, who was very kind and knows a lot, it's a pleasure to discuss each tasted wine with him. To point out one drawback, we booked the tasting in Spanish and in the end it wasn't possible. They didn't notify us and luckily we were able to understand each other in English, but if you don't master the language, you have to confirm the possibility of Spanish with them.
Despite this, I would repeat without a doubt.
Notify if the language selected in the reservation is not available

Excellent experience
We were greeted upon our arrival and directed inside were everything was already set up and were Carla was waiting for us and the rest of the group. She was very patient explaining everything in Italian and English. Very knowledgeable and friendly. After the tour we hadcthe wine tasting accompanied by some snacks. She gave us an explanation for every wine. We were not rushed at all and felt like a very pleasant experience. Will highly recommend it!
None, everything was great

A wonderful experience
My passion has old origins, but only recently have I been able to cultivate it.
The welcome, as well as the staff's expertise, is remarkable and the wines presented were of an excellent level.
I must, therefore, offer my compliments for the commitment and professionalism shown on this occasion, as (surely) on all others.
