This is the first Riserva from this site. Floral, rose petal, strawberry cherry, supple texture, lighter in weight but full throttle flavors. Very long, with focused acidity to cut heavy sauces or fatty meats.

Tenute Cisa Asinari dei Marchesi di Grésy has been owned by the di Grésy family since 1797. The estate includes four properties located in Langhe and Monferrato, home to Piedmont’s greatest wines. Before the 1960s the estate operated like a traditional farm, producing livestock, vegetables and fruits - including grapes. At the time, the grapes were sold to the finest wine producers in the area, as was the tradition in the Langhe. In the early 1970s Alberto di Grésy realized the potential of his vineyards and decided that he had to vinify his own grapes.
In 1973 he produced his first vintage with the objective of transferring the class and character of the terroir, vineyards and varietal into the bottle, using the best available technology and respect for tradition. In 2013 Alberto’s son and daughter, Alessandro and Ludovica di Grésy began their adventure in the family’s winery working alongside their father. To this day, Marchesi di Grésy only vinifies grapes coming from their properties, 111 acres of vineyards divided among the Martinenga, Monte Aribaldo, La Serra and Monte Colombo estates.
Of exceptional note, the Martinenga vineyard is one of the Langhe’s finest and the largest single owned "monopole" in the region and has been owned by the di Grésy family since 1797. Martinenga is known for producing some of the finest cru-designated Barbareschi. It is planted with the Nebbiolo sub-varieties Lampia, Rosé and Michet, whose mix produce the most elegant Nebbiolo wines. With its southern exposure, blue marl soil and elevations from 820 to 918 feet, the Martinenga cru possesses ideal growing conditions and allows Nebbiolo fruit to reach full maturity even in difficult vintages.

Marchesi di Grésy Barbaresco Martinenga DOCG 2020
![]() Built to age, with concentrated flavors and lots of lip-smacking tannins, with medium weight and good acidity. It should be decanted if opened over the next few years or, if you like to see how a wine develops short term, take some time enjoying a glass or two to taste it as it develops in real time. 94

Marchesi di Grésy "Virtus" Langhe DOC 2013
![]() This wine is presented more than 10 years after the harvest. The Tenute Cisa Asinari dei Marchesi di Gresy 2013 Langhe Virtus is 60% Barbera and 40% Cabernet Sauvignon. This estate holds high regard for this blend. It opens to a medium-dark color with a garnet hue. The bouquet is special indeed, with budding tertiary character that comes across with licorice, camphor ash and fireplace soot. These tones remain integrated and delicate. You taste the acidic tartness of the Barbera. Some 7,000 bottles were made. 92

Marchesi di Grésy "Camp Gros" Martinenga Barbaresco DOCG Riserva 2020
![]() A leafy lightness dominates the nose with a whiff of mint, strawberries, red cherries and blood oranges enhanced by licorice. Chewy, biting tannins are slightly sticky from extraction yet good in the finish, refreshing and medium-bodied. Though well-packed and coated with fruit, this wine needs time for the structure to develop. Drinkable now but best from 2026. 96
OCTOBER 2025
Marchesi di Grésy "Camp Gros" Martinenga Barbaresco DOCG Riserva 2021
![]() The 2021 Barbaresco Riserva Martinenga Camp Gros is one of the best wines I have tasted in 20 years of visiting the estate. Rich and explosive, the 2021 hits the palate with waves of balsamic-infused fruit, brisk acids and vibrant, pulsating tannins. Plum, gravel, incense, dried flowers and graphite add to an impression of somber gravitas. Readers should plan on cellaring this for at least a few years. The 2021 is an epic Camp Gros. 92

Each sip is guided by the wine's effortless balance as crushed wild berry flavors steep with aged tea, wild herbs and rosewood all lifted on the finish by notes of crushed chalk and vibrant acidity. Drink from 2025. 93
