"Angelo Gaja is, without question, the most famous wine producer in Italy. Possibly one of the most famous in the world. He is credited with developing techniques that revolutionised winemaking in Italy.
- International Wine Challenge
Conteisa takes its name from a centuries-old land dispute between Barolo and La Morra - fitting for a wine that embodies the tension and beauty of both places. The fruit comes from the hallowed Cerequio cru, one of La Morra’s finest vineyards, known for its elegance and aromatic lift. First produced in 1996, Conteisa sits alongside Sperss as one of Gaja’s flagship Barolos, and it’s grown into something truly distinctive.
The 2020 vintage feels like a shift in tone - less about sheer power, more about detail and precision. This is a wine that doesn’t rush to impress. There’s structure, but it’s laced with silk; fruit, but framed in minerality and spice. Gaja ferments each parcel separately before blending and aging across both French and Slavonian oak, allowing each site to speak for itself before they’re brought into harmony.
Drink it young if you must, but the best stories unfold slowly.

"Sensual, silky and impeccably balanced. Crushed rocks, red fruit and floral lift define this stunningly graceful Barolo. Conteisa is no longer the underdog."
