    Its rich bouquet exudes the sweet scent of red cherries and an elegant blend of flowers, mint, spices and liquorice. The taste is velvety and inviting, with a perfect balance of powerful fruit, integrated tannins and beautifully balanced acidity. Radiance and complexity are overwhelming. SUPERIORE.DE

    "Brilliant ruby with a fine garnet shimmer. Clearly marked nose with notes of raspberry and fresh plums, some cloves and coriander seeds. Gripping, savoury tannin, shows good fullness, lots of pressure." Falstaff

    "The grapes for Gaja's Conteisa all come from Cerequio. The nose reveals cherries, dried cherries and earthy tones with subtle mint and peony. The palate is dominated by cherry and strawberry with a hint of coffee. The wine is full, with ripe tannins of great quality and moderate acidity." Decanter

    "The 2018 Barolo Conteisa from Gaja is elegant, graceful and noble through and through. Silky tannins and floral aromas give this medium-bodied Barolo plenty of charm. This is classic Cerequio. The notes of sweet red berries, pomegranate, cherry, blood orange and mint that are so typical of the La Morra site are beautifully brought out. All the elements are so beautifully balanced. I'm looking forward to seeing how the 2018 ages. The Gajas were particularly picky in 2018. Bottle production for Conteisa is down 50%." Vinous

    "The fresh and ripe strawberry flavours come through very well here, along with some liquorice and floral notes. Medium to full body with fine, concentrated tannins that are vertical and bring the palate down through the wine. A solid and beautiful wine. Try it after 2025." James Suckling

    "The Gaja 2018 Barolo Conteisa shows very nicely, with ripe aromas of plum, strawberry, grilled herb and chamomile flower. Give the wine time and it shows more herbal sensations and even a blast of mint that is characteristic of Cerequio, where the grapes are harvested." Wine Advocate
