Costa Russi is a revered single cru in the township of Barbaresco with vines up to 70 years in age. From the warmer 2011 vintage, this is bright and bold with notes of intense red cherry, blackberry, spice and balsam herb. The palate is extraordinarily rich but exudes beautiful textural roundness and suppleness.

Vinous
Round, supple and succulent, the 2011 Costa Russi is laced with dark red cherry, plum, mocha, cloves and new leather. The classic Costa Russi personality comes through in a soft, gracious wine with tons of near and medium-term appeal. The Costa Russi captures an attractive middle ground between the ripe, pliant style of the year and the medium bodied grace of Nebbiolo. I expect the 2011 will offer a long and broad drinking window of pure pleasure. Although Costa Russi is often the most precocious of Gaja's single-vineyard wines, it is the last site to be picked.Antonio Galloni1st October 2014
