The Gaja tradition started in 1859 in Piedmont. Five generations of the Gaja family have nurtured and built on the dreams of the previous generation.

In 1937 Giovanni Gaja took over the reins of the company and it was at this time the labels changed presenting the famous Gaja name first and foremost on the label as we see it today.

The Costa Russi Barbaresco is one of Gaja’s three famous single vineyard Barbaresco wines. Produced in tiny quantities. A long lived showstopper.

Producer’s Tasting Notes

The 2015 Costa Russi nose is generous, floral and sweet with intense aromas of rose and violet, blood orange, red berries, liquorice and turmeric.

The palate is fleshy, loaded with red and dark berry notes, such as mulberry, red currant, black cherry.

The soft and round tannins balance the good acidity. It is the most inviting and generous of the three Gaja single vineyards.
