  5. 2016 Gaja, Barbaresco, Costa Russi
Gaja was founded with one mission: to produce wine that captured the time, culture, and tradition of Piedmont. No wine in the estate’s portfolio does that more concisely than Gaja Costa Russi. The Barbaresco is the smallest of Gaja's single-vineyard wines, with production capped at 1,700 cases due to fragile 80-year-old vines.  

The ancient vines prove that with age comes beauty. The stunning dark ruby body unfurls notes of red fruits, blood orange, plum, licorice, earth, herbs, and a garden’s worth of flowers. That ethereal nose translates into a soft yet sturdy body with bright acids, refined tannins, and remarkable finesse. Simply put: 2016 Gaja Costa Russi is a classic Barbaresco that fulfills the Gaja mission in every way.

The Final Sip: This single-vineyard red captures the essence of Piedmont with grace and style. Wine critic Jeb Dunnuck added, “This is another elegant 2016 that never puts a foot wrong.”
