On the nose, Contino Reserva offers a captivating bouquet of ripe red fruits, such as cherries and plums, accompanied by subtle hints of vanilla, tobacco, and spices. The aromas are well-integrated and provide a harmonious experience.
The palate of Contino Reserva is equally impressive. It presents a medium to full body with velvety tannins that give a smooth and elegant mouthfeel.

The wine has a good balance between fruitiness and earthiness, creating a delightful complexity.
