Gaja Costa Russi Barbaresco 2016 75cl
Gaja Costa Russi Barbaresco
- This red wine has an elegant aroma with a clear expression of fruits
- The palate leads with pronounced citrusy notes, notably orange pith blood orange. Violet notes are also at the forefront, with plum, a slight hint of liquorice, and dried rose petals following
- Among the three single vineyards, Costa Russi seams the least structured, yet it impresses with its harmony and class
This vintage is one of the best of the 21st century for the wines of Piedmont, and it reflects it in these single vineyard Gaja Costa Russi Barbarescos.
Costa Russi is just over 4 hectares. Sitting just below Sori Tildin at an altitude of 230 metres, facing south-west. The soil consists of clayey-calcareous marls and the vines are 65 years old on average. The wine undergoes around three weeks fermentation and maceration prior to 24 months ageing in oak.
