Seductive from the first sniff, Gaja Conteisa 2020 glides between ripe strawberry and cherry fruit, sweet spice and tobacco, and hints of balsamic herbs and iron, all framed by wonderfully silky yet persistent Barolo tannins. Medium to full in body, it feels polished and sapid rather than heavy, with a long, savory finish that makes it compellingly drinkable even now while clearly built for the cellar. This vintage stands out for its combination of Serralunga depth and an unusually open, refined texture that gives both early charm and serious aging potential.

Conteisa is Gaja’s Barolo from the historic Cerequio cru between La Morra and Barolo, a single-vineyard Nebbiolo that takes its name—“quarrel” or “contested”—from the centuries‑old dispute over this prized hillside. Aged around 30 months in oak, it typically marries sumptuous, perfumed red fruit and wild cherry with floral, herbal and mineral nuances, all wrapped in a refined, silk‑tannined structure that showcases the elegance and depth of this celebrated site.
