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. Though generally only medium-bodied, the wines possess rose and anise scented aromatics and deep flavors of cherry, orange peel and subtle green herb tones.

Color: Garnet. Aroma: Expressive floral nose with notes of red berries, plums, licorice and spices. Taste: The Nebbiolo in Conteisa reflects the essence of the Cerrequio terroir: sumptuous texture and a very refined character with perfectly integrated tannins. Offers fabulous aromas of blueberry and lilac. Full-bodied, with a solid core of ripe fruit and round, caressing tannins. This is deep and concentrated, yet wonderfully balanced. Superb. The best Conteisa after 2000. Wine Spectator 96 points

The best Conteisa after 2000. Best after 2010... 96" WS 10/07 "The 2003 Conteisa, from the Cerequio vineyard in La Morra, is especially intense in this vintage. It is a rich, full-bodied Conteisa made in a sweet, super-ripe style, with outstanding palate presence and well-integrated tannins. In 2003 the floral, spices notes that are the hallmark of this vineyard are somewhat attenuated. read more...
