Gaja Costa Russi 2020 Barbaresco Denominazione Origine Orotetta

The Gaja Costa Russi 2020 is a profound single-vineyard expression from the heart of Barbaresco in Piedmont. The name “Costa Russi” reflects both the vineyard’s hillside position (“Costa”) and the nickname of the historic sharecropper who once tended these prized vines.

Crafted by the iconic Gaja Winery, a benchmark estate founded in 1859, this wine embodies a legacy of innovation and terroir-driven excellence. Under the visionary leadership of Angelo Gaja, the estate elevated Barbaresco to global prestige, pioneering single-vineyard bottlings and redefining quality standards in Italian winemaking.

The 2020 vintage reflects both precision and elegance, capturing the essence of Nebbiolo grown on the calcareous marl soils of the Langhe hills, delivering a wine of finesse, aromatic clarity, and age-worthy structure.
