What to Expect

Nebbiolo is a fickle grape famed as much for its pale appearance as for its tannic character and produces some of the most perfumed and richly flavored wines.

Wine Advocate : 92 The medium-bodied 2001 Conteisa is the more accessible of Gaja’s wines from the Barolo zone. It shows plenty of La Morra’s famed elegance and finesse, with a delicate nose of flowers and spices followed by rich flavors of sweet red fruit, dried flowers, roasted coffee beans, new oak and a long, caressing finish. Anticipated maturity: 2009-2021.
