1996 Gaja Conteisa - Piemonte - 1 Bottiglia (0,75 litri)

Up for auction is a magnificent and very rare bottle of 1996 Conteisa, crafted by the legendary Angelo Gaja. The 1996 vintage is a historical turning point: it marks the very first year Gaja introduced a small percentage of Barbera into the blend, deliberately declassifying the wine from Barolo DOCG to Langhe DOC to achieve greater complexity and stylistic freedom. A true piece of Italian winemaking history, sourcing from the renowned Conteisa vineyard located in the La Morra municipality.
