Gaja Barbaresco 'Costa Russi' DOCG 2022
Vintage Character
Barbaresco DOCG 2022 Gaja Costa Russi is a distinguished single-vineyard Nebbiolo that epitomizes the elegance and depth of one of Piemonte’s most celebrated crus. The 2022 vintage in Barbaresco was marked by a warm, dry growing season, which fostered concentrated fruit and supple tannins, resulting in wines of notable ripeness and complexity.
Tasting Profile & Food Pairing
Awarded 95 points by Robert Parker’s Wine Advocate, this release is lauded for its precision and expressive character. The bouquet reveals vibrant aromas of red cherry, rose petal, and hints of licorice, complemented by subtle notes of orange peel and earthy undertones. On the palate, Costa Russi delivers a silky texture and harmonious structure, with flavors of wild berries, tobacco, and mineral nuances that linger through a long, elegant finish. This wine pairs beautifully with dishes such as roast lamb with rosemary, porcini mushroom risotto, or aged Asiago cheese, while Peking duck offers an intriguing alternative, enhancing its savory complexity. The balance of ripe fruit and fresh acidity in this vintage promises both immediate appeal and excellent cellaring potential.
Winery Background
Founded in 1859, Gaja stands as a benchmark for innovation and quality in Italian winemaking. The estate, under the visionary leadership of Angelo Gaja, has transformed the landscape of Barbaresco through meticulous vineyard management, sustainable viticulture, and a commitment to expressing the unique character of Nebbiolo. Costa Russi, one of Gaja’s iconic single-vineyard bottlings, is rooted in calcareous soils that contribute to its refined structure and aromatic intensity. The winery’s philosophy blends tradition with forward-thinking techniques, including careful yield control and selective harvesting, ensuring purity and terroir expression in every bottle. Gaja’s unwavering dedication to excellence and its pioneering approach have earned the estate a reputation as one of the world’s most acclaimed producers, with Costa Russi consistently regarded as a reference point for Barbaresco.
