The Gaja Barbaresco Costa Russi 2017 is an exceptional red wine from the renowned Gaja winery, which is one of the most important producers in Piedmont with its first-class Barbaresco wines. Costa Russi is a prime example of Angelo Gaja's great skill, who creates unique wines using modern winemaking techniques and an in-depth knowledge of the terroir. The wine is made from 100% Nebbiolo grapes from the steep vineyards of Costa Russi - one of the best locations in the region. The special climatic conditions and the mineral-rich terroir produce wines of exceptional complexity and elegance.
The 2017 vintage is characterized by a balanced ratio of freshness and maturity. After the harvest, the Barbaresco Costa Russi matured in barrique barrels, which gives it a subtle wood structure that harmonizes perfectly with the fruity and floral aromas. With an alcohol content of 14% vol., the wine offers a fine, well-integrated tannin structure and a long-lasting finish that underlines the quality and potential of this wine. The Gaja Barbaresco Costa Russi 2017 is a wine that can be enjoyed now but also has enormous ageing potential that will gain in complexity and depth over the years.
