Robert Parker's Wine Advocate
The Gaja 2020 Barolo Conteisa offers subdued and unexpected elegance with great finesse and detailing. You might expect more concentration and power from this hot vintage; however, it instead reveals complexity over a lower overall intensity threshold. 'The 2020 vintage offers a classic Nebbiolo profile,' says Giovanni Gaja. He compares 2020 to upcoming vintages, describing 2021 as a vintage of power and 2022 as a vintage of concentration. The Conteisa with fruit from the Cerequio MGA shows a dark ruby hue with vibrant notes of wild cherry, crushed mint, dusty limestone and pressed violets. The tannins are especially elegant and fine.

Description
Gaja Conteisa wine comes from one of Italy's most prestigious wineries, known for its commitment to quality and tradition.
Winemaking
Gaja Conteisa is made with 100% Nebbiolo from the Conteisa vineyard, located in Cerequio. Fermentation and maceration take place over a period of three weeks, followed by ageing in oak for 30 months.
Taste
This particular wine stands out for its fresh bouquet, with fine, ripe tannins that promise a pleasant drink. Its nose is open and persistent, starting with floral notes, in particular rose petals and violet. Over time, deeper botanical characters develop with hints of juniper, dandelion and incense. On the palate, the pure essence of Cerequio leads to sweet notes of red cherry, strawberry, raspberry, thyme and aniseed. Polished tannins and bright acidity balance the fruit concentration, resulting in a medium weight structure with remarkable ageing potential.
