high-acid vintage

The 2007 Langhe Costa Russi combines richness and focus to a degree that has seldom been seen here

with little racking

A discreet touch of reduction still allows the earthy red berry and black cherry aromas to express themselves

Giovanni Manzone, Barolo Bricat other_regions_italy high-acid vintageGood full red. Sweet aromas of plum, marzipan and musky, truffley underbrush. Sweet on entry, then quite vinous in the middle palate, showing more shape, penetration and thrust than the Gramolere. A nicely structured, juicy wine that finishes with sweet but firm building tannins and noteworthy persistence. Stephen Tanzer
