At Contino, nothing is more modern than the elegance of a renewed classic. Contino Reserva embodies this philosophy—crafted from a mosaic of micro-vineyards surrounding Viñedos del Contino in Rioja Alavesa. These vineyards are rooted in diverse soils—ranging from alluvial and clay-limestone to saline and sandy—each contributing to the wine’s depth and complexity.

Aged for approximately 24 months in a blend of French and American oak barrels, this Reserva is a masterclass in balance and character. On the nose, it reveals layered aromas of dark cherries, blackberries, and plums, lifted by hints of redcurrant, dried fig, and subtle spice. The palate is silky and expressive, with ripe fruit framed by smooth tannins, gentle oak influence, and vibrant acidity. Elegant yet concentrated, it offers a long, flavourful finish.

Tasting Notes
Dark fruit, tobacco, and earthy spice intertwine with polished tannins and well-integrated oak, delivering a wine of depth, finesse, and unmistakable Rioja character.

Food Pairing
Ideal with roast lamb, Ibérico pork, or chorizo-stuffed chicken. Also pairs beautifully with aged cheeses like Manchego or mature cheddar.
