Contini's 1997 Vernaccia di Oristano Riserva is a decisive, enveloping white wine from the Bassa Valle del Tirso, in the province of Oristano. Warm and voluminous on the palate, it is the result of twenty years in oak and chestnut casks under flor yeasts, responsible for the typical aromas of toast and dried fruit, especially apricot. This Vernaccia produced by Contini can be excellently paired with roe preparations and mature cheeses, but also with dry pastries, if served at around fifteen degrees
