Conteisa

1996 Langhe Nebbiolo

The 1996 Gaja Conteisa, a stunning Nebbiolo from the renowned Langhe region, showcases the remarkable elegance and depth that this varietal is celebrated for. This red wine features a medium to full body, offering a rich and velvety mouthfeel that beautifully envelops the palate. With high acidity that invigorates the senses, it achieves a perfect balance between freshness and complexity. The wine exhibits pronounced fruit intensity, with delightful notes of dark cherry, plum, and hints of floral undertones. Tannins are notably structured, contributing to the wine's longevity and giving it a firm yet graceful presence. As a dry wine, the Gaja Conteisa invites contemplation, making it an exquisite choice for pairing with hearty dishes or savoring on its own. A true testament to the terroir of Langhe, this vintage is a remarkable expression of Nebbiolo that reflects both the heritage of the region and the artistry of the winemaker.
