CURIOSITIES
Contino, the first château in La Rioja, was founded in 1973 by the century-old winery CVNE and the owners of the 62-hectare estate located in the Rioja Alavesa. The history of the property dates back to the sixteenth century and is recorded in its very name. The "contino" was the officer in charge of a guard of a hundred soldiers who had watched over the royal family since the times of the Catholic Monarchs. Tradition has it that San Gregorio, the patron saint of the vineyards, passed through the lands of this same Rioja estate, and thus his figure appears in the anagram of this winery, and lends his name to some of the plots now planted with vines.
