The best wineries in Oristano.
Attilio Contini Wine company, founded in 1898 by Salvatore Contini, is among the oldest and most prestigious wineries in Sardinia. The son Attilio, father of the current owners, went on skillfully with the work renovating and enlarging the existing winery and strengthening the surface of vineyards in the most suited zones.
The size of the company, still family–owned, has allowed to devote the best care and attention to the selection of the vines and the grapes, to vinification and aging, in respect of the oldest traditions. The children and grandchildren of the founder dedicate themselves now, with passion and skill, to the careful selection of the vines and the grapes, to vinification and aging, in respect of the oldest traditions of the place.
Angelino: they make their first harvest and the efforts are rewarded with the first bottling, which occurrs in 1977. In 1985, the company proceeds to the planting of other 10,000 square meters of Malvasia and in the next five years extends its area of vineyard bringing it to a total of about 40,000 square meters. Over the past decade, the Porcu brothers have embarked on a major modernization process purchasing more suitable equipment for wine–making and the provision of adequate facilities for the reception of visitors. The company registered at D.O.C. vineyards since 1972 and has an annual production of about 60 quintals per hectare, which is designed entirely to aging for at least two years in chestnut barrels. The company is surrounded by a beautiful natural setting and offers a spectacular view. The winery is located in the middle of the vineyard, and has an area of three hundred square meters.
The company was founded on the drive and passion of the patriarch Giovanni Battista Columbu, who in 1972 purchased from a relative a vineyard of more than 18,000 square meters which had been grown for over a hundred years with mixed colture of traditional vines, situated in Fraus locality, in the territory of Magomadas. In the following years, G. Battista Columbu started a first replanting of trees replacing centuries–old logs and increasing the grafts of the original Malvasia vine.
In that same period (1973/1974) together with the estimated producer Salvatore Deriu (known as Zegone, who was the first to understand the importance of the grape variety selection and of monoculture plants, and experimented bottling for the marketing of the product) and some other famous supporters of the value this wine, like Mario Soldati and Luigi Veronelli, who dedicated to Malvasia pages of high value, G.B. Columbu devoted himself to research study aimed at recognizing the wine and cultural identity of the product, so as to obtain the enrollment in the DOC register.
In 1980, the company inherited another vineyard of about 20,000 square meters, in Campeda locality, in the territory of Bosa.
In 1992 the first bottle of Malvasia di Bosa G.B. Columbu was launched and in 2004 another product approached the tradition, made from Malvasia grapes, too: Lalvarega.
Currently, the company combines tradition with modern systems for vinegrowing and winemaking and is registered in the Register of DOC vineyards since 1988.
In Sardinia at Terralba (a town full of history, culture and grape-growing and wine-making traditions) as a continuation of the old family activity, after some 10 years of wine-making experimentation, La Cantina del Bovale was founded.
