Gaja Costa Russi is one of the estate’s most celebrated single-vineyard wines, produced from a prestigious hillside vineyard in Barbaresco, Piedmont. Crafted primarily from Nebbiolo, this iconic wine reflects Angelo Gaja’s pioneering vision and the exceptional terroir of the Langhe region.
The Costa Russi vineyard is known for producing wines with remarkable elegance, aromatic complexity, and silky texture. Careful aging in oak enhances structure while preserving the purity of fruit and the vineyard’s signature mineral character.
