“Worth snapping up!”

Jeb Dunnuck • 98 / 100

"The 2021 Barbaresco Costa Russi is a jeweled ruby color and is bright with fresh herbs, mint, cherries, thyme, and freshly dried earth. It has good volume and ripe structure on the palate and is long and cooling, with a note of fresh lavender. It also has a great, mouthwatering mineral tone with a more linear feel, but it’s powerful at the same time, with the sanguine and ripe blood orange notes that are shared across the vintage. It needs time, but wow, is it worth snapping up!"

“An absolute stunner.”

Kerin O'Keefe • 98 / 100

"Enticingly fragrant, the captivating 2021 Costa Russi has beautiful aromas of rose, violet, wild berry and crushed Alpine herb. Elegantly structured, the enticing, vibrant palate boasts succulent red berry, blood orange, white pepper, cake spice and mint alongside taut, polished tannins. Bright acidity keeps it balanced and energized. An absolute stunner."

“Savory spice and wild herbs on the elegant finish."”

Wine Enthusiast

"Dynamic and lifted, the nose is layered in floral aromas of dried rose, lavender and purple lily that coast over the glass. As the wine develops, notes of strawberry, licorice and forest floor slowly surface. This vintage shines with elegant tannins and lifted acidity that keeps the palate bright with vibrant tart red fruits, savory spice and wild herbs on the elegant finish."
