Italian Sherry! WINEMAKER: Alessandro and Mauro ContiniContini 2023 Vernaccia di Oristano Flor Sardegna One of Italys unique whites is Vernaccia di Oristano, a style of wine practically synonymous with the Contini winery. Think Spanish Amontillado Sherry, with the mid palate of a chardonnay, showing baked apple, marzipan and generous salinity. This is a complex and juicy aperitivo, iconic really, descended from the wines of Andalusia, evidence of a strong connection between Sardinian and Spanish cultures.
