A name and a number define our company and mark the origins of our story. We are proud to be the first and oldest winery in Sardinia, an honour that we owe entirely to our founder, Salvatore Contini, and his wife Anna Maria Dessì.

Today the company produces a complete range of wines available in Italy and internationally. In 2022 the new Contini winery was officially opened, after a restyling of the spaces with the aim of bringing us into the future and becoming a
home to experiences, a meeting point, and a destination to be discovered. Read more
