Gaja 2013 Costa Russi (Barbaresco)

Country: Italy / Piedmont
Variety: Nebbiolo
Winery: Gaja / Costa Russi

Red berry, aromatic herb, pressed violet and dark spice aromas meld together in the glass. Firmly structured, the palate boasts intensity and energy, offering dark cherry, licorice and mint set against a backbone of fine-grained tannins and fresh acidity. It’s well balanced but young so give this time to fully develop. Drink 2020–2032.
