One of the first estate wines of Rioja, Contino is a creation of CVNE (Compania Vinicola del Norte de Espana) from a selection of Tempranillo, Graciano, Mazuelo and Garnacha on their 62 hectares of vine. The 4-year aging is shared equal parts between casks (French and American) and bottle refinement. It yields a red with notes of wood, torrefaction and fruit.

(Automatically translated) Woody and roasted, this 85% Tempranillo is a real discovery!!
Châteauguay - Boul. d'Anjou
November 27, 2024
(Automatically translated) A full-bodied wine, but designed in a harmonious and balanced way for the taste buds, making it full-bodied, fruity, spicy and woody. Its texture is fine and elegant in the mouth. I am not particularly fond of Spanish wines, but this one is an exception for its refined side.
