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.

DECEMBER 2021
Marchesi di Grésy Barbaresco Martinenga DOCG 2018
 This delicate, midweight wine opens with scents of fresh cherry and dewy rose petal that lead into tangy red berry flavors brightened by a twist of orange zest. Some dark mineral tones emerge with air, but this is a wine to enjoy in the next five years. 94
OCTOBER 2022
Marchesi di Grésy Barbaresco "Camp Gros" Martinenga Riserva DOCG 2017
 The 2017 Barbaresco Riserva Camp Gros Martinenga is a pretty dense, potent wine. That's probably a good thing for its long-term potential, although there is no getting around how hard the wine is to taste today. Even so, the 2017 shows terrific freshness for such a torrid year. Orange zest, cinnamon and dried rose petal build into the tense, classically austere finish. The 2017 is a gorgeous Camp Gros. 93

Marchesi di Grésy Barbaresco Martinenga DOCG 2019
 Don’t worry about the light color. This is a very fine Barbaresco with sleek tannins and pretty fruit with cherry and dried-flower undertones. It’s really racy. Give it two or three years to open and soften. Try after 2024. 96
DECEMBER 2021
Marchesi di Grésy Barbaresco "Camp Gros" Martinenga Riserva DOCG 2016
 Gorgeous scents of cherry, raspberry, rose hip and white pepper are augmented by leather, tobacco and chalky, mineral flavors in this detailed, complex red, which starts out fresh and inviting, before the dense matrix of tannins puts a lock on the finish. Nonetheless, this has length, harmony and stellar potential. 90+
OCTOBER 2022
Marchesi di Grésy Barbaresco Martinenga DOCG 2019
The 2019 Barbaresco Martinenga is bright and punchy. Sweet cherry, dried flowers, orange peel, mint and cinnamon are nicely lifted throughout. There's terrific purity to the red-toned Nebbiolo fruit. Give this mid-weight Barbaresco a few years to soften the somewhat nervy angular contours that are present today. 91
JUNE 2022
Marchesi di Grésy "Virtus" Langhe DOC 2011
 DECANTER WORLD WINE AWARD 2022 SILVER MEDAL. Expressive dark berry fruit, dried violets, and sweet baking spice, enhanced by sweet tobacco and licorice. Great intensity, juicy, unctuous, and delicious! 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. |
