Wild cherry and exotic spice build with remarkable intensity, the wine's velvety texture showcasing Costa Russi's celebrated terroir. Dried flowers, cedar and leather add complexity to the dark, concentrated fruit core. Substantial yet polished tannins provide excellent structure without overwhelming the wine's natural elegance. A hedonistic expression built for both early enjoyment and extended aging through 2040.

Gaja

Gaja is Barbaresco's most recognizable name globally, built on single-vineyard Nebbiolo from Sorì San Lorenzo, Sorì Tildìn, and Costa Russi, alongside a Chardonnay and Sauvignon Blanc that remain outliers in the region.
