The Gaja 2019 Barolo Conteisa is a smooth operator with forest floor, dried fruit, autumn leaf and pickled plum from Japan with elements of both saltiness and sweetness. Conteisa goes for the high notes with floral tones, violet and something brittle like a laurel leaf. Its texture is very silky and tight. The wine persists with a smooth and long tenor.

The 2019 Barolo Conteisa is stunning. A wine of grace, power and finesse, the 2019 is immediately captivating. Crushed flowers, cinnamon, red berry fruit and rose petal are all beautifully lifted, all wrapped by silky La Morra tannins that add to its finesse. Readers will find an exquisite Barolo endowed with tremendous class. The 2019 is just sublime.

La Morra. Cerequio. Aged for 18 months in French oak barriques and tonneaux, with a tiny percentage of new oak, followed by 18 months in large Slavonian oak casks.Just mid ruby. Brooding and still quite subdued on the nose, with savoury, spicy, salty touches. Very elegant but tightly stitched palate. Fresh acidity that is almost a little racy and with bags of coating tannins that become more upfront on the finish and that need more time. Long and focused, but still backward. (WS)
