Conteisa, in italiano contesa, è una parola piemontese che richiama la disputa durata per oltre 100 anni che vide protagonisti i comuni di La Morra e Barolo, per il possesso dell'area di Cerequio, e che terminò solo nel 1275, con la stipula di un accordo di cui esiste traccia nell'archivio comunale di La Morra.

Il vigneto Conteisa, è ubicato in località Cerequio nel comune di La Morra. La fermentazione e la maturazione delle uve, assemblaggio di uve di barbera e nebbiolo, dura all'incirca tre settimane, alle quali fa seguito l'affinamento per 30 mesi in legno.  

All'esame olfattivo denota un bouquet elegante e delicato, definito da profumi floreali amalgamati a note fresche e balsamiche. Nel calice si presenta con una veste rosso rubino dai riflessi granati. All'assaggio è portentoso, con un corpo avvolgente e una trama tannica armoniosa e persistente. 

Le delicate note di erbe aromatiche mescolate agli aromi di ciliegie selvatiche che irrompono al palato, rendono questo barolo un perfetto abbinamento con taglieri di formaggi ben stagionati, selvaggina, arrosti, carne alla griglia e in umido. Ottimo calice da degustare e sorseggiare come vino da meditazione per assaporare appieno delle caratteristiche organolettiche di questo rosso importante.

Winery history
The Gaja family has been present in the Langhe since the second half of the 19th century; the estate, established in the community of Barbaresco, became internationally renowned thanks to its modernization choices and the bottling of wines from individual vineyards.

Over time the estate has expanded beyond the heart of the Langhe with investments and holdings in other Italian regions.
