2022 GAJA Barolo Conteisa

96 POINTS: The 2022 Barolo Conteisa pours a slightly deeper ruby color in this warm vintage and was bottled in July 2024. Aromatically expressive, it offers notes of cherries, violets, spice, and polished cedar. Medium-bodied, it fills the palate without feeling heavy, with ripe but well-integrated tannins. The wine captures both the youthful energy of the vintage and the natural sweetness typical of La Morra fruit. 12,200 bottles were produced. Drink 2027-2047.
