96 /100

The large shoulders of this warm 2015 vintage contrast sharply with the delicate nuances of the 2016 Barbarescos also released now from Gaja. The 2015 Barolo Conteisa is intense, with a background chorus of plum, prune, herb, mint and wild cherry. It's a very balanced Barolo. The Cerequio vineyard that provides this fruit often suffers from hail damage because the vineyard is located along the corridor of bad weather that comes over the hill from La Morra. There was some damage in mid-August, but fruit in the 2016 vintage suffered much more extensively in comparison. In fact, so little fruit was saved that Gaia Gaja is pretty sure this wine will not be produced next vintage. She tells me that they are now experimenting with anti-hail netting at this site—an eyesore they had long hoped to avoid.

Nebbiolo

Nebbiolo er Piemontes ikoniske druesort og rygraden i nogle af Italiens mest legendariske vine, herunder Barolo og Barbaresco. Kendt for sit karakteristiske udtryk af “tar and roses”, kombinerer den florale aromaer med dybe, mørke, mineralske nuancer og en struktur, der gør vinene både intense og ekstremt lagringsdygtige.

På trods af sin lyse farve og tynde skind er Nebbiolo en af verdens mest tanninrige og syrestærke røde druer, hvilket giver vine med markant rygrad og ofte et næsten asketisk udtryk i de unge år. Med tiden udvikler den sig mod noter af læder, tørrede blomster, tjære, trøffel, tobak og tørret frugt, og farven skifter gradvist fra rubinrød til teglstensorange i kanten – et klassisk kendetegn for druen.

Nebbiolo trives primært i Norditaliens tågedækkede bakker, især i Langhe, hvor dens navn muligvis stammer fra ordet nebbia (tåge). Det er en vanskelig drue at dyrke og modner sent, men under de rette forhold leverer den vine med bemærkelsesværdig dybde, finesse og lagringspotentiale, som få andre sorter kan matche.
