Barbaresco docg "Costa Russi" Gaja 2013

The 2013 it's the first vintage starting from wich the "Costa Russi" changes its name from Nebbiolo doc to Barbaresco docg.

This wine is produced with grapes coming from the homonymous vineyard called “Costa Russi”, in Barbaresco. It owns an intense ruby red colour with some reflexes and a various bouquet, with fruited hints of blackberries, raspberries, aroma, vanilla, nutmeg and cinnamon. The taste is warm and soft, with intense tannins that offer it great structure, persistence; it is perfect in combination with roasts of red meat, game, and seasoned cheeses. Moreover, it owns a great capacity of aging.

The cave was built in 1859 in Barbaresco, in the centre of the Langhe, and all along it is recognized as one of the name-symbol in the production of Barbaresco. From the creator Giovanni to Angelo Gaja, this family has earned a great reputation in wine’s sector thanks to its attentive pursuit of quality. In the 60s years Angelo Gaja has decided to innovate the traditions and to import new productive techniques: from the destruction of the production for hectare to a greater control of fermentation temperatures, from the use of the barrique to the replacement of longer tops. The past as experience, the future as purpose: this is the philosophy of this successful winery.
