About the Gaja Conteisa Barolo 2020 3L Double Magnum
Delicate nose, with hints of cherry compote, mint, marzipan, sweet and spicy notes of ginger, and pepper. In the mouth it is delicate, ethereal and elegant, with very sweet and spicy tannin, notes of wild mint and a long, lingering finish.
James Suckling
This is a really enticing wine with an open and vivid nature that tells you right away it is Barolo, but it’s polished and sweetly tannic. You want to taste and taste. It’s medium- to full-bodied with rounded tannins and a savory finish. Juicy and so approachable now. Better in a couple of years, but hard to resist now. Try after 2026.
The Gaja 2020 Barolo Conteisa offers subdued and unexpected elegance with great finesse and detailing. You might expect more concentration and power from this hot vintage; however, it instead reveals complexity over a lower overall intensity threshold. "The 2020 vintage offers a classic Nebbiolo profile," says Giovanni Gaja. He compares 2020 to upcoming vintages, describing 2021 as a vintage of power and 2022 as a vintage of concentration. The Conteisa with fruit from the Cerequio MGA shows a dark ruby hue with vibrant notes of wild cherry, crushed mint, dusty limestone and pressed violets. The tannins are especially elegant and fine.
