Bright cherry, raspberry, floral and fennel seed flavors abound in this red. There is good viscosity and plenty of structure for near-term development. Drink now through 2029.

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
![]() Offering cherry and strawberry fruit shaded by hay, eucalyptus, green tea and mineral notes, this broad, juicy and racy red tightens up, leaving a compact finish today. Needs time to open. Best from 2026 through 2043. 90
DECEMBER 2022
Marchesi di Grésy Nebbiolo Martinenga Langhe DOC 2021
![]() The 2021 Langhe Nebbiolo Martinenga is a gorgeous, effusive wine that will give readers a very good idea of what to expect before the more important Barbarescos are released in the coming years. Floral and spice notes meld into a core of red/purplish berry fruit. Short fermentations and aging in cement works so well in exalting fresh, floral-infused fruit. The 2021 is a joyous wine. 91
MAY 2024
Marchesi di Grésy Barbaresco Martinenga DOCG 2020
![]() The medium red 2020 Barbaresco Martinenga is expressive and spicy with aromas of bright red cherries, orange peel, clove, and leather. Bright and medium-bodied, it’s tangy on the palate, with a more citrus-driven profile, fine tannins, a dusty texture, and a modest but clean finish. It’s a charming wine to drink over the next 5-7 years. 92

APRIL 2019
Marchesi di Grésy Barbaresco "Camp Gros" Martinenga Riserva DOCG 2013
![]() I love the tension and the glossy elegance here. The 2013 Barbaresco Riserva Camp Gros Martinenga is silky, bright and buoyant. It is complete and shows a lot of depth. It offers fresh acidity, and while it has a lean approach, it definitely has impressive length. This wine should evolve nicely over the next 10-20 years. -Monica Larner 96
NOVEMBER 2020
Marchesi di Grésy Barbaresco "Camp Gros" Martinenga Riserva DOCG 2015
![]() From the Martinenga cru’s western end, adjacent to Rabajà, this Riserva is bold yet balanced in the warm 2015 vintage. It unfolds with lush red and dark cherry flavors accented by notes of lavender and dried herbs. The wine’s ample tannins honed first in barriques and then in Slavonian oak casks, remain firm and mineral, and will maintain balance as the wine ages over the next decade and beyond. 96
AUGUST 2019
Marchesi di Grésy Barbaresco "Gaiun" Martinenga DOCG 2015
![]() The daring nose here beckons you in, captivating with its wide range of dried oregano, rosemary, thyme, dried cranberries, tamarind and lemon drizzle cake. Then it seduces you with its athletic build, casting a steely net of crafty tannins over soft fruit, like chain mail over supple skin. A spattering of acidity rises from the midst, electrifying the whole palate and turning any remnants of dried fruit into raindrops of mineral citrus. Not a hugely powerful wine, but an essay in structure and elegance. Drink from 2024. |
