Graceful yet firmly structured, the 2021 Gaja Costa Russi Barbaresco layers vivid red cherry and wild berry fruit with notes of spice, flowers and cool stone, wrapped in sleek, tightly woven tannins. There’s a striking sense of purity and tension in this vintage, with a long, mouthwatering finish that feels energetic and refined rather than heavy, suggesting a wine built for patience and nuance rather than immediate opulence.

Costa Russi by Gaja is a famed single-vineyard Barbaresco from the village of Barbaresco in Piedmont, sourced from a southwest-facing, clay-limestone slope of very old vines and now made as 100% Nebbiolo. Typically considered the most seductive and approachable of Gaja’s three Barbaresco crus, it marries perfumed rose and violet notes with pure red and black fruits, fine-grained tannins, and remarkable finesse, giving it both early charm and long-term cellaring potential.
