Parker about Costa Russi Barbaresco 2014
The 2014 Barbaresco Costa Russi is a beautiful wine that delivers profound color saturation with deep ruby highlights and blackish intensity. I would describe the nose as being more horizontal rather than vertical, if that makes sense. In other words, the bouquet makes its approach with wide intensity and large-scale aromas of black fruit, spice, tar, leather and licorice. It offers fewer of the sudden high notes or moments of sharpness that you get in 2013. Despite the common perception that this was a very cool vintage, the fruit here actually tastes riper and rounder than you might expect. That's because the vintage heat all came toward the end of the growing season, and the Gaja family left fruit on the vines to the end. In the mouth, the wine shows depth and finesse with some stubborn firmness at this young stage. It needs to flesh out further with more bottle aging.

Costa Russi Barbaresco 2014
Angelo Gaja Barbaresco Costa Russi
The Costa Russi vineyard is one of the steepest sites in Gaja. The old vines in this vineyard have the advantage of having deep roots that allow them to draw on sufficient water reserves even in hot years. Of the three large Barbaresci vineyards, the Costa Russi is the freshest and finest. More restrained in its youth than the other two, but with appropriate maturity, as the tannins integrate, it develops into a complex wine with immense depth.
Angelo Gaja
Information about the winemaker:
The family winery is now one of the best known in Italy and can look back on a centuries-old history. The success story of owner Angelo Gaja began in the 17th century when the family emigrated from Spain to Italy. In 1859, a member of the family, a grape producer in Barbaresco, laid the foundation for the current company by opening a tavern, which also served their own wines. The wines were already so popular at the end of the 19th century that they were supplied to the Italian army, among others. Already in the second generation of the family, an unusually high value was placed on quality, with the aim of retaining a predominantly upscale clientele.
