Red
Costa Russi
By Gaja, Barbaresco, Piemonte, Italy
Costa Russi is one of Gaja's three historic single-vineyard bottlings from Barbaresco, released alongside Sorì Tildìn and Sorì San Lorenzo since the late 1970s.
Tasting notes
Deep ruby red. Aromas of red roses, red plum and violet with a hint of café. Elegant, powerful and refined on the palate, with the structure and grace that made Gaja's single-vineyard Barbarescos famous.
