Note di degustazione
An uncharacteristically big, powerful wine, the 2005 Conteisa also remains quite primary and in need of a bit more bottle age to be at its best. Hints of sweet red stone fruit, spice and truffle emerge, but only with great reluctance. Readers should expect an especially virile Conteisa.

Good full red. Rather full-blown aromas of raspberry, truffle and underbrush; and yet this appears to offer less complexity than the San Lorenzo or Tildin bottlings. Sweet, broad and lush; boasts a fat middle but not quite the grip I associate with Barolo. The building tannins show a slightly dry edge. Offers less finesse than the Barbarescos.
The 2005 Conteisa is soft, floral and accessible in its perfumed red fruits. This is an especially supple and easygoing Conteisa that looks to be relatively early maturing.Although the 2005 doesn't have the complexity or structure of the finest vintages, it compensates for that with lovely balance and a long, polished finish. Conteisa is made from vines in the Cerequio vineyard in La Morra.

Conteisa is made from vines in the Cerequio vineyard in La Morra. Anticipated maturity: 2010-2020. Angelo Gaja’s 2005s from the Barolo zone don’t match the level of his wines from Barbaresco, which are far more harmonious and complete in this vintage. Although Gaja is one of Italy’s most consistent producers, these wines prove that, despite his considerable gifts, he is human. Importer: Terlato Wines International, Lake Bluff, IL; tel.
