In the 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 de Samaniego was rewarded with the estate of Laserna from which the Contino estate derives its name.
The Contino wines are based on a classic range of Crianza, Reserva and Gran Reserva, wines of unique character but of more traditional style than the more classic structured wines of Viņa del Olivo and the single varietal Graciano.
