justerini & brooks tasting note

Aged for a year in large french oak cask and a year in smaller barriques, a third new oak A flamboyant luxurious Piedmontese red, bursting with sweet ripe red fruits, unctuous sloe, milk chocolate, dried flower, and sweet spice flavours, extremely round and corpulent, this immediately seduces the palate.

critic reviews

98/100Antonio Galloni,Vinous

The 2007 Langhe Costa Russi combines richness and focus to a degree that has seldom been seen here. This insanely beautiful wine boasts a breathtaking bouquet, explosive, generous fruit and an absolutely eternal finish. Layers of dark red fruit, minerals, flowers and spices saturate every corner of the palate as this mind-blowing Costa Russi struts its stuff. This is a towering effort from Angelo Gaja. The wine should be accessible fairly early and age for decades.
