TASTING NOTES

Floral, extravagantly perfumed and sensual. This is a textured, sumptuously fruity Costa Russi with a backbone of acidity and minerality which frames and elevates the layered and complex fragrance and silky texture. Extremely evocative, engaging and enticing this really highlights the delicacy of Barbaresco yet still has the grunt, power and sophistication of a Gaja wine. Brilliant.

TASTING NOTES

On the nose, the sweet, lifted fragrance of roses slowly unfurls. Behind come the red fruits- pomegranate, red cherry and red currant. There is a crunchiness to the fruit on the attack but then the wine begins to flow smoothly across the palate, showing ripe and finely grained tannins without any austerity. The grip and bite of a classic Nebbiolo...

TASTING NOTES

Bright, intense and lifted nose with incredible aromatic complexity: violets, balsamic and herbal notes. Rich, juicy and intense with terrific depth and power and a fabulously long finish. Sweet smoke, cherries and high quality oak wrap this glorious package together and it finishes bright, focused and crisp with perfect acidity.

TASTING NOTES

Concentrated, rich and densely fruited. Full of dark fruit with red highlights. Thrillingly pure fruit supported by plentiful but svelte tannins. Rich yet elegant, unctuous without being heavy. The depth of the 2011 Conteisa becomes clear on the finish with savoury and earthy nuances highlighted by cleansing acidity. This is delicious and approachable but there are many layers to unfurl....

TASTING NOTES

Of all the Gaja Crus Costa Russi often displays the most exuberant nose and palate of elegant and crystal purity. Always dense and complex, with heightened mineral and taut fruit character. In 2003 the warmth of the year has made for a forward and voluptous style. Drink now and over the next 10 years
