Gaja Conteisa 2008 is a medium-to-full-bodied Nebbiolo red wine from the Piedmont region of northern Italy. Produced from grapes within the cru village of Cerequio, on the border between Barolo and La Morra, Gaja Conteisa has been produced since 1996. It takes its name from the Piedmontese term for `contested`, alluding to the historical rivalry between the towns of Barolo and La Morra over the coveted Cerequio cru. This is a medium-to-full-bodied Nebbiolo now at its peak, with concentrated floral aromas and classic Nebbiolo tar, cherry and earth. Direct and long on the palate, this is a polished Nebbiolo from one of the finest Langhe producers.
