Merchant's description
The Gaja Costa Russi 2015 is a Nebbiolo wine hailing from the renowned Costa Russi vineyard in Barbaresco, Piedmont. This vineyard, celebrated for its southern exposure, features a high proportion of limestone and clay in its soils. The 2015 growing season was notably warm, contributing to the wine`s plush texture and rounded mouthfeel. Aromas of dark berry fruit intertwine with mineral nuances, including hints of crushed oyster shell.
