2013 marked a landmark year for the single cru Barbarescos produced by world-renowned producer, Gaja. In the past they were blended with 5% Barbera but, going forward, this will no longer be the case. Costa Russi is known for delicate wines that exude floral aromas of rose hip and lavender, alongside darker fruit tones beneath. An exceptional release.

The 2013 Costa Russi by Gaja is a testament to the exceptional terroir of the Langhe region, showcasing the Nebbiolo grape's potential for finesse, depth, and complexity. This wine is noted for its nuanced aromatics, fine tannins, and a layered, expressive palate that unfolds with time in the glass. Aged in oak for enhanced complexity, it represents a pinnacle of Italian winemaking tradition. Exhibits aromas of red fruits, hints of vanilla, and floral nuances. The palate is characterized by vibrant acidity, silky tannins, and a lingering, elegant finish.
