If we were to name just one Barbaresco producer, it would of course be Angelo Gaja. In the family domain, he is actively supported by his wife Lucia, his daughters Gaia and Rossana and the famous and excellent oenologist Guido Rivella.
The grapes come from the plot named Costa Russi. "Costa" for the extremely steep hillside with a southern exposure and "Russi" the nickname of the previous owner. This estate was acquired in 1967.
Of all the different vineyards, Costa Russi often offers the most refined and delicate bouquet.
