Contini is one of Sardinia's most historic and iconic wineries, with a tradition dating back to 1898. Founded by Salvatore Contini in Cabras, in the province of Oristano, the company has been a benchmark for over a century in the production of wines that authentically express the Sardinian terroir. Contini focuses particularly on promoting the island's native grape varieties, especially Vernaccia di Oristano. This unique varietal is the flagship of Contini's production, producing oxidative white wines of great complexity and longevity, capable of aging beautifully. In addition to Vernaccia, Contini also produces excellent wines from other Sardinian grape varieties, such as Cannonau, Vermentino, Nieddera (a grape almost exclusive to the Sinis, the area of Cabras), and Cagnulari. The company's philosophy has always been to combine tradition with innovation, respecting the deep connection to the land and using modern techniques to best enhance the characteristics of the grapes. The Contini winery is now run by the fourth generation of the family, who continues to carry on Salvatore's legacy with passion and dedication, helping to spread Sardinian winemaking culture throughout the world.
Elibaria Vermentino di Gallura DOCG is the highest and most prestigious expression of Sardinian Vermentino, a wine that embodies the authenticity and nobility of Gallura, the granite and windswept heart of northeastern Sardinia. The Contini winery, with over a century of history and dedication to viticulture, has mastered the art of interpreting this native grape variety, bringing it to internationally recognized levels of excellence. The name "Elibaria" evokes the purity and luminosity this Vermentino embodies. The Controlled and Guaranteed Designation of Origin (DOCG) is the highest recognition for an Italian wine and certifies compliance with strict production regulations, from vineyard to bottle, guaranteeing the product's origin, quality, and uniqueness. The grapes for this Vermentino come from select vineyards in Gallura, where the sandy-granite soil and constant sea breezes create ideal conditions for the development of complex aromas and a pronounced minerality. Vinification is carried out with the utmost care, often with a brief cold maceration and temperature-controlled fermentation, to preserve and enhance the intrinsic characteristics of the grape variety. The result is a wine that is not only a pleasure for the palate, but a true tale of the terroir, the passion of the Contini family, and the richness of Sardinia's winemaking tradition.
It presents itself in the glass with an intense and brilliant straw yellow color, often enriched with elegant golden highlights that demonstrate its structure and potential for aging. Its crystalline clarity heralds a complexity and finesse that will unfold on the nose and palate. The nose opens with a broad and enveloping bouquet of great finesse and elegance. Intense floral notes, such as hawthorn and lime blossom, dominate, blending harmoniously with aromas of ripe white fruit, such as peach, apricot, and pear. Hints of Mediterranean scrub, such as myrtle and mastic, typical of the Gallura region, also emerge distinctly, along with an intense mineral note of flint or saltiness, lending complexity and freshness to the aroma. Occasionally, subtle nuances of fresh aromatic herbs or sweet almond can be detected. On the palate, it reveals remarkable structure and vibrant acidity, yet always well-balanced by a pleasant smoothness. The palate is full, savory, and enveloping, with exceptional aromatic persistence. The fruity and mineral notes perceived on the nose return, enriched by a pleasant sensation of fullness and a slight bitterness on the finish, characteristic of high-quality Vermentino. The aftertaste is long, clean, and leaves a sensation of freshness and savory flavor. Elibaria Vermentino di Gallura DOCG is a wine with great personality and versatility, ideal for accompanying rich dishes and bold flavors. It is excellent as an aperitif for special occasions, but finds its true expression when paired with refined seafood dishes: large shellfish (lobster, prawns, scampi), raw seafood, oysters, baked or grilled fine fish (such as sea bream, sea bass, snapper). It also pairs magnificently with elaborate fish-based first courses, seafood risottos, and Sardinian dishes featuring bottarga (fish roe). It is also excellent with fresh or medium-aged cheeses and delicate white meats.
