Contini Vernaccia di Oristano Riserva 0.375L 1995

Colour

Golden yellow with amber hues.

Bouquet

Generous and lingering with aromas of roasted hazelnuts and almond blossom.

Flavour

Dry, warm and full-bodied; excellent structure, lingering finish tinged with the characteristic almond flavour.

Pairing

Excellent to round off a meal and for quiet meditation, the perfect accompaniment to desserts with marzipan and plain pastries and biscuits.
