in terms of production numbers, this is one of the smallest vintages we've seen from the costa russi vineyard. thanks to replanting efforts, about half of the old vines were ripped out in 2017 (compared to the 2016 vintage that made 10,000 bottles with the whole vineyard in production). the gaja 2017 barbaresco costa russi offers a warmer and softer character compared to sorì san lorenzo and sorì tildìn. overall, the wine is richer and more textured. i definitely taste the vintage heat with its slightly sweeter and more accessible tones of cherry, cassis and fragrant blue flower. costa russi is usually defined by lifted notes of aniseed and sambuco, and you get those here too, although they are a less pronounced in this vintage. this is a balanced and carefully assembled barbaresco with a lean approach backed by fine tannins and bright acidity.
