Contino Blanco 2020 shows a very intense nose, marked by its aging in barrel. It is fresh and fruity wine, a true reflection of the identity of our vineyard. San Gregorio offers us a Garnacha Blanca with great complexity and volume.
Viñedos del Contino, founded in 1973, was the first single-estate winery in Rioja, setting a benchmark for estate-driven wines in the region. Located in Rioja Alavesa along the Ebro River, the estate is owned by the historic CVNE group, one of Spain’s most respected producers. Contino focuses on expressing vineyard character through careful selection, traditional methods, and modern precision.
Fruit is hand-harvested from estate vineyards and gently pressed to preserve purity. Fermentation occurs primarily in stainless steel with a portion aged in oak barrels to add texture and complexity. The wine spends time on fine lees, enhancing mouthfeel and aromatic depth. The style balances freshness with subtle oak integration.
Pairs well with grilled seafood, roasted chicken, and creamy pasta dishes. It also complements Mediterranean cuisine such as herb-roasted vegetables and shellfish-based dishes.
