Gaja Barolo Conteisa 2014

Nebbiolo at its best is an elegant variety with velveteen tannins, mouthwatering acidity and a captivating perfume.

Common characteristcs of a well-made Nebbiolo can include roses, violets, licorice, sandalwood, spicebox, smoke, potpourri, black plum, red cherry and orange peel. Light brick in color, Nebbiolo is a more powerful wine than one might expect, and its firm tannins typically need time to mellow.
