  5. 2017 Gaja, Barbaresco, Costa Russi
Barbaresco is the calling card of Gaja. Founded in 1859, the estate is widely credited with introducing Barbaresco to a global audience. Gaja also modernized the local winemaking by borrowing best practices from top wineries in Napa Valley and Bordeaux. The combination of cutting-edge winemaking and traditional Piedmontese sensibilities makes Gaja one of the most iconic names in the region. 

The 2017 Gaja Barbaresco Costa Russi showcases the estate's trademark balance, warmth, and complexity. Critics have even compared it to a softer, warmer version of Sorì San Lorenzo and Sorì Tildìn. Sweet notes of red cherries, cassis, and freshly cut flowers only add to that accessibility. The one problem? The 2017 vintage was one of the smallest ever for Costa Russi, making this red wine exceedingly rare. 

The Final Sip: This small vintage and high critic scores make 2017 Gaja Costa Russi the ultimate portfolio diversifier.
