Pasternak Wine Imports

The Contino wines are produced solely from the vineyards on the estate; 62 hectares located within a meander of the river Ebro near the village of Laserna and close to the town of Laguardia in the province of Rioja Alavesa.

In times of the Reyes Catolicos (Ferdinand of Aragon and Elisabeth of Castille) the distinction of ‘Contino’ was conferred on each of the continuation of the Life Guards who protected the monarchs and their family. The Contino Pedro do Samaniego was rewarded with the estate of Laserna from which the Contino estate derives its name.

The three varietals on which Contino wines are based are; Tempranillo which gives a good balance between sugar, color and acidity; Mazuelo which gives good tannin structure; and Graciano which has good color and a powerful aromatic characteristic.
