Gaja Costa Russi Barbaresco

The most "sensual" and approachable of Gaja’s single-vineyard masterpieces, Costa Russi Barbaresco is celebrated for its remarkable elegance and floral purity. Sourced from a south-facing slope in the heart of Barbaresco, this wine is renowned for its seductive bouquet of violets, lilac, and wild strawberries, layered with sophisticated hints of licorice and black truffle. On the palate, it is exceptionally polished and "enveloping," offering a silken texture and velvety tannins that balance its concentrated red-fruit core. While it possesses the characteristic structure of top-tier Nebbiolo, its emphasis on finesse and aromatic complexity makes it the most delicate of the Gaja crus, culminating in a long, mineral-driven finish with immense aging potential.
