Conteisa 2021 Vintage Overview

2021 OVERVIEW

Intensity and clarity define Gaja’s 2021 Barolo Conteisa, a Barolo that surges with redcurrant, cherry and pomegranate fruit layered over floral and faintly herbal nuances. The palate is powerful yet finely sculpted, with bright, mouthwatering acidity and polished, firm tannins driving a very long, refined finish that promises outstanding development in bottle. A brilliantly focused, near-classic Conteisa that will reward patience for many years.

About Conteisa

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.
