The union of native Sardinian grapes gives rise to the "Barrile", Rosso with the denomination "Isola dei Nuraghi" labeled Contini. It is a Red that rests for at least a year in oak barrels, of first and second passage, to get to give an elegant and complex sip, in which the balsamic nuances and the spicy tertiary tones chase each other and alternate, going to make up a truly drink of high thickness, capable of leaving indelible traces in the minds of all those who are lucky enough to try it. It is a Rosso, the "Barrile", in which the Contini wineries contain over a century of enological knowledge and skills, offering us a prestigious and qualitatively excellent label.

Nella prima metà di ottobre si assiste ad una vendemmia favolosa in Sardegna, nell’Alto Campidano proprio all porte della Valle del fiume Tirso e Sinis: la cantina Contini si mobilita e raccoglie le uve Cannonau, per produrre un vino rosso fermo d’eccezione. Dopo la raccolta, segue la macerazione della durata di circa due settimane, per poi procedere all'affinamento doppio.

Il “Maluentu” della Cantina Contini è un vino rosso di media struttura dal colore rubino con riflessi violacei prodotto con uve Nieddera, un vitigno autoctono di antichissime origini. Al naso emergono aromi floreali di rose rosse e sentori di marasca sotto spirito. Il palato è polposo con un tannino abbastanza evidente e chiare note di freschezza. Affina in acciaio.
