Barolo DOCG 'Conteisa' 2019 (750 ml.) Gaja
The Barolo DOCG “Conteisa” 2019 by Gaja comes from the renowned Cerequio cru, between La Morra and Barolo, where 100% Nebbiolo from old vines thrives in calcareous and sandy marl. Hand-harvested, it ferments in steel and ages 30 months in barriques and large casks, achieving harmony and complexity. Its deep ruby turning garnet reveals violet, rose, black cherry, mint, merging with liquorice, ginger, tobacco, tar, smoked cedar. The palate is silky, structured, with dense tannins, vibrant acidity and a mineral, persistent finish. Perfect with braised meats, game, Alba white truffle, aged cheeses.

Gaja
Excellence, elegance, and prestige: three words that capture the essence of Gaja, one of the most illustrious names in Italian wine. Founded in 1859 in Barbaresco, in the heart of the Langhe, Gaja has redefined Nebbiolo, elevating it to worldwide acclaim. Guided by Angelo Gaja’s vision, the winery has blended deep respect for tradition with innovative techniques, creating wines renowned for their complexity, depth, and remarkable ability to age.
From legendary crus such as Sorì San Lorenzo, Costa Russi, and Sorì Tildìn to benchmark Barbaresco and Barolo, every bottle reflects the soul of its terroir and the signature of a family that has, for generations, pursued a single philosophy: absolute quality, without compromise. The range has expanded to include Chardonnay, Cabernet Sauvignon, and Merlot, each interpreted with the same meticulous care as their native varietals.
Gaja’s success extends beyond Piedmont. With the Ca’ Marcanda estate in Bolgheri and Pieve Santa Restituta in Montalcino, the family has also brought out the best in Tuscany’s terroirs, producing powerful, long-lived reds that have won the hearts of collectors and wine lovers across the globe.
Choosing a Gaja wine means treating yourself to a unique sensory journey, where every sip tells a story of rolling hills, historic vineyards, and timeless winemaking artistry. For those who wish to experience this excellence, Vino45 offers a curated selection of the most iconic labels, ready to turn any occasion into an unforgettable moment.
