Gaja Barolo Conteisa is a world-class single-vineyard Barolo crafted from Nebbiolo grown in the prestigious Cerequio area of La Morra and Serralunga d’Alba in Piedmont. Produced by the legendary Gaja estate, Conteisa represents the harmony of power and elegance that defines top-tier Barolo.

The name “Conteisa,” meaning “contest” in the local Piedmontese dialect, references a historic dispute over ownership of the prized vineyard land. Carefully aged to preserve structure and complexity, this wine delivers layered aromatics, refined tannins, and remarkable aging potential.
