Conteisa 2017

Gaja

Case Format: 6x75cl

Max score: 98.0

A single vineyard Barolo with a story to tell. Conteisa vineyard is situated in Cerequio, in the municipality of la Morra, covering 6 hectares and homes vines which are on average 65 years old. Opulent, long lived and expressive. Fresh bouquet, fine and ripe tannins, great drinkability. Open and persistent nose. Polished tannins and the bright acidity balance the fruit concentration, leading to classic medium-weight structure with remarkable ageing potential.

Gajas 2017 Barolo Conteisa is a little reticent at present with notes of smoke, tar as well as cherry notes perhaps reflecting the heat and dryness of the 2017 vintage. It has a wonderful texture as always and lots of very attractive juiciness and mouthwatering qualities. Although the refined, fine-textured tannins have a little dry twist on the finish typical of many 2017 wines, there is a very appealing, lingering savouriness on the finish. Overall it is a supremely elegant wine with so much finesse. Wait two to three years and drink up to 25 at least.

Predominantly from within the cru of Cerequio on the border between Barolo and La Morra, Conteisa has been produced since 1996. The 2017 Barolo Conteisa has ripe aromas of red cherry, cinnamon, and licorice. The palate is forward and gushing with raspberry leather, iron-rich earth, and tobacco leaf. This is the most generous and giving of the three wines in this tasting, yet at the same time remains noble. Drink 2022-2042.
