Gaja Barbaresco 'Costa Russi' DOCG 2021
Vintage Character
The 2021 vintage in Barbaresco was characterized by a cool spring followed by a steady, balanced summer, resulting in Nebbiolo wines of notable finesse and purity. Gaja Barbaresco 'Costa Russi' DOCG 2021, awarded 95 points by Robert Parker's Wine Advocate, exemplifies the elegance of this vintage with its expressive bouquet of rose petals, red cherries, violets, and subtle notes of licorice and crushed stone.
Tasting Profile & Food Pairing
On the palate, layers of ripe raspberry, blackcurrant, and delicate spice are supported by silky tannins and a refined mineral backbone, culminating in a polished, persistent texture and a savory finish that lingers with hints of tobacco and dried herbs. This sophisticated Barbaresco pairs beautifully with wild mushroom risotto, roasted rack of lamb, or Peking duck, offering a harmonious complement to both classic and contemporary cuisine.
Winery Background
Gaja, established in 1859, stands as a benchmark for innovation and excellence in Italian winemaking. Renowned for pioneering single-vineyard bottlings in Barbaresco, the estate has played a pivotal role in elevating the region’s global reputation. The Costa Russi vineyard, situated on south-facing slopes with calcareous soils, produces Nebbiolo grapes of exceptional depth and nuance. Gaja’s commitment to sustainable vineyard management and meticulous attention to detail is reflected in their winemaking approach, which combines gentle extraction with aging in both French barriques and large oak casks. This philosophy ensures that each bottle captures the unique character of its terroir while maintaining remarkable balance and longevity, making Gaja a true icon of Piedmont.
