Product Notes

Gaja Conteisa is an exceptional Italian wine, heralding from the reputable winemaking region of Barolo. Delightful on the nose, it boasts persistent aromas of red berries, liquorice and coffee. The palate is met with a rich, multi-layered exploration of flavours, including truffles, tobacco and floral undertones. With beautifully interwoven tannins and a lasting finish, this wine's elegance and finesse are palpable in every sip. It is a stellar choice for any lover of full-bodied red wines, offering a balance of intensity and refinement. Gaja Conteisa is a reminder of the beauty in well-aged, artfully crafted wine. A true gem indeed.

Tasting Notes

Fresh bouquet, fine and ripe tannins, great drinkability. Open and persistent nose. Floral in the beginning, with straightforward notes of rose petal and violet, it develops deeper botanical characters 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 anise. Polished tannins and the bright acidity balance the fruit concentration, leading to classic medium-weight structure with remarkable ageing potential

About the Winery

Gaja

Nestled in the verdant hills of Barbaresco, Italy, you'll discover the esteemed Gaja Winery. Founded in 1859, it is a testament to the enduring passion the Gaja family holds for the art of viticulture, and their commitment to producing some of the finest wines in the world.

The Gaja Winery is known for pioneering techniques that have fundamentally transformed the face of Italian winemaking. Angelo Gaja, the brilliant mind behind many of these innovations, has been instrumental in putting Italian wines on the international stage. Not only did he introduce the use of new French oak barrels in fermentation, but he was also one of the key advocates of reducing vineyard yields in order to drastically enhance the quality of grapes.

The winery's profile boasts a stunning array of white and red wines. However, it was the single-vineyard Barbaresco wines that propelled the Gaja estate onto the international stage. With a multitude of global awards, their wines are a testament to both tradition and innovation.

Additionally, much of the winery's success can be attributed to the rigorous approach to vineyard management. The terroir, enriched by the unique soil and microclimate of the region, confers exceptional complexity and flavour to the grapes. Hand-harvesting ensures that only the finest are selected and processed immediately to preserve their quality.

Yet, Gaja is more than just about quality wines; it’s about the experience. The estate itself is beautiful featuring a rustic, but elegant charm that reflects the Gaja family’s respect for nature and tradition. As you explore its historic cellars, lush vineyards and taste their exceptional wines, you'll experience the heart and soul of Italian winemaking.

From humble beginnings, to being named among Italy's most renowned wineries, Gaja Winery rightfully deserves it's place in the annals of viniculture history. It remains a beacon of quality, innovation, and a hoe: a living testament to the power of family tradition and an enduring love for the land.
