Contini Vernaccia di Oristano Flor 2020 750ml
Product Details
This wine is not your typical Vernaccia. It is intentionally oxidized and drinks more like a dry Sherry although it is not fortified.
100% Vernaccia fermented with indigenous yeasts. After the traditional white winemaking process with soft pressing and temperature-controlled fermentation, the wine matures in non-topped-off oak and chestnut barrels (known as “Caratelli”) for at least 4 years. The oxygenation, together with the constant temperature range, allows the formation of the “Flor”, a film of yeasts that gives the wine its characteristic sherry-like aromas.
Vinous Review:
The 2020 Vernaccia di Oristano Flor explodes from the glass with a beguiling blend of dried apricot, mango, sage and stone dust aromas complemented by a touch of confectionary spice. It is decidedly savory, nearly salty in character, with soft textures and enriching notes of raw almond as honeyed orchard fruit tones settle on the senses. The 2020 leaves nuances of brown spice and an air of fresh tobacco on the slightly saline finish. This is deep and complex, but I find myself craving a bit more energy.
