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.

SEPTEMBER 2021
Marchesi di Grésy Sauvignon Langhe DOC 2020
 The 2020 Sauvignon is bright, fresh and varietally expressive. Lemon peel, sage, mint and orchard fruit are nicely woven together. Aging in steel keeps the flavors bright, while aging on the lees adds lovely textural depth. 95
OCTOBER 2021
Marchesi di Grésy Barbaresco "Gaiun" Martinenga DOCG 2016
 An explosion of flavors on the nose and palate; dark forest fruits, dry hay, strawberries with cream, smoke and spice. Great Complexity and Intensity. 93
NOVEMBER 2020
Marchesi di Grésy Barbaresco Martinenga DOCG 2017
 From the warm, dry 2017 vintage, this wine is impressively nuanced, with delicate floral scents, pliant tannins and plush red fruit. A selection off 35- to 40-year-old vines, the wine aged for a year in barriques (30 percent new) and then in Slavonian oak casks. It’s appealing now, though the wine has the freshness to age well, too. 97
OCTOBER 2022
Marchesi di Grésy Barbaresco "Camp Gros" Martinenga Riserva DOCG 2017
 2022 James Suckling Top 100 Italian Wines #45. The freshness and firmness of this young 2017 Barbaresco is impressive. The wine is tight and reserved, but suggests greatness, offering cherries, dark cherries, dried flowers and crushed stones. Intense tannins. This is a wine for the cellar. Give it five or six years of bottle age. Try after 2027. 93
OCTOBER 2020
Marchesi di Grésy Barbaresco Martinenga DOCG 2017
 Camphor, forest berry, rose and exotic spice form the inviting nose Full-bodied and enveloping, the palate features dried cherry, tobacco and mocha before close-grained tannins grip the assertive close. Drink 2022–2029 93
FEBRUARY 2022
Marchesi di Grésy Barbaresco Martinenga DOCG 2018
 Though firm, there is an elegance to this red, whose flavor profile ranges from strawberry and cherry to tobacco and tea. Taut and linear, with fine balance and a long, red fruit, stone and savory aftertaste. Best from 2025 through 2042 89+
SEPTEMBER 2021
Marchesi di Grésy Nebbiolo Martinenga Langhe DOC 2020
The 2020 Langhe Nebbiolo Martinenga is bright and effusive right out of the gate. Freshly cut flowers, mint, crushed red berries, chalk and white pepper give the Langhe Nebbiolo a super-appealing upper register. Because of the pandemic, the Nebbiolo was bottled later than usual, which may explain a feeling of nervousness I don't recall seeing in the past. 95
JUNE 2021
Marchesi di Grésy Barbaresco "Camp Gros" Martinenga Riserva DOCG 2016
 This wine is so pretty. I love the intensity, the licorice and all the little detailing that goes in the greater embroidery of the Tenute Cisa Asinari dei Marchesi di Gresy 2016 Barbaresco Riserva Camp Gros Martinenga. The wine is powerful, yet its texture is almost fragile, with small berry nuances and shadings of ash and smoke. For better or for worse, the tannins are dry at this point. |
