Winemaker Notes

This vineyard lies a few steps from Sori Tildin. Purchased by the Gaja family in 1967, it derives its name from the term “costa,” the side of the hill that faces the sun, and “Russi,” the nickname of the former owner.

The color is a dark ruby/purple.

This wine exhibits a captivating and refined nose with well-integrated aromas of blackberries, violets and roasted coffee beans.

On the palate, it shows elegance and crystal purity characterize this extremely complex and densely woven wine with an aging potential of decades.
