Description
Gaja Costa Russi wine is in the prestigious wine region of Barbaresco, Italy.
The Costa Russi vineyard is located in the municipality of Barbaresco, at the foot of a hill where, a little further up, Sorì Tildin is located. The land, facing south-west, is composed of clay-limestone loams and covers an area of 4.35 hectares, with an average altitude of 230 metres above sea level. The vines have an average age of 65 years.
Elaboration
Fermentation and maceration take approximately three weeks, followed by ageing in oak for 24 months, of which 12 months in French oak barrels and 12 months in wooden vats. The wine is composed entirely of Nebbiolo grapes, with an alcohol content of 14.00%. It is recommended to be enjoyed with grilled red meats, pizzas, pastas, stews and strong, mature cheeses.
Taste
Costa Russi is characterised by a generous, floral and sweet aroma, with intense notes of rose and violet, blood orange, red berries, liquorice and turmeric. On the palate, it is fleshy and loaded with notes of blackberry, red currant and black cherry. Soft, round tannins balance the good acidity, making it the most inviting and generous of Gaja's three single vineyards.
