2017 Costa Russi

At first glance, the 2017 Costa Russi is a super-fruity wine, with waves of blackberry, black cherry and plum forming the core. It is polished and full of finesse, with notes of licorice and marzipan, but this is all just a backdrop to the impressive core of fruit. The good structure drives the energetic and fresh finish, the tannins are ripe and sweet.

Recommendation: Drinking temperature 16-18 degrees Celsius, preferably open beforehand, please decant. Goes very well with dishes with dark meat, Kobe beef roasted with mashed potatoes and truffle jus, braised dishes and fine game birds. A mature hard cheese also goes very well with this wine. Optimal drinking maturity until 2038+.
