A racy style, this red delivers cherry, raspberry and sweet spice flavors, with touches of eucalyptus, all matched to a solid base of tannins. Ends with notes of coffee and spices. Best from 2027 through 2040.

A little more robust and richer on the finish, the Tenute Cisa Asinari dei Marchesi di Gresy 2020 Barbaresco Riserva Gaiun Martinenga offers aromas of cooked cherry and plum. This wine offers a darker fruit profile compared to the others, and it also shows greater structural support. There is a firm, mineral note of iron or rust that should dissolve beautifully as this wine continues its bottle aging. Production is 8,000 bottles.

The Tenute Cisa Asinari dei Marchesi di Gresy 2021 Langhe Chardonnay Grésy is part of a small but very interesting group of white wines made in the Langhe, Piedmont. Citrusy at first, this Chardonnay follows through with aromas of ladies' perfume and sweet butter pastry. With time, this shows dried herb and candied lemon drop. It offers intensity and elegance (and is aged in oak for 18 months). This is a 9,000-bottle release.

The Tenute Cisa Asinari dei Marchesi di Gresy 2023 Langhe Nebbiolo Martinenga is light and a little watered down in this vintage that saw rain toward the end of the growing season. The wine pours into the glass with a light ruby hue. Its aromas are similarly stripped down to the bare essentials. I get a spicy note of white pepper with tart cherry and redcurrant. All said and done, I really like the light and luminous approach of this understated vintage. This is a surprise hit, with 25,000 bottles made.

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.

The Tenute Cisa Asinari dei Marchesi di Gresy 2020 Barbaresco Riserva Camp Gros Martinenga (with 8,000 bottles created) has the extra fruit concentration and weight that is characteristic of this MGA site. The wine stays faithful to a purist's Nebbiolo profile with tart cherry, grilled watermelon and grenadine. Little touches of blue flower and grilled herb appear on the back end of this firmly structured and cellar-worthy Riserva. This is a real beauty.

Always a classical wine, the Tenute Cisa Asinari dei Marchesi di Gresy 2021 Barbaresco Martinenga brings us the sharpness and power of an epic vintage. This wine has a medium-dark luminous color and is light on its feet. The aromas are bright and lively with fresh berry and cassis. The oak contouring is delicate, and the wine benefits structurally from healthy skins, grapes and pulp. There is a delightful hint of Nebbiolo sweetness on the close. This is a 24,000-bottle release.

A basket of cherries overflows with both ripe and candied aromas lifting from the glass that meld with the sweet spice of a nearby bakery. 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.
