Contino is a Tempranillo-led Rioja from a single estate on a sweeping bend of the Ebro River in Rioja Alavesa, one of the region's first true chateau-style properties under the CVNE umbrella. Made only in standout years, Gran Reserva sees extended oak and bottle aging before release, building depth and longevity. We pour the 2018 for its polished, savory complexity and the limestone-driven acidity and stony mineral thread that mark its terroir.
