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.

OCTOBER 2022
Marchesi di Grésy Barbaresco "Gaiun" Martinenga DOCG 2018
 A very refined 2018 with ultra-fine tannins and lovely berry, orange peel and cream aromas and flavors. Medium-bodied with a creamy texture and a delicious finish. Why wait here? 93
OCTOBER 2022
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. 93
OCTOBER 2023
Marchesi di Grésy Barbaresco "Camp Gros" Martinenga Riserva DOCG 2018
 The 2018 Barbaresco Riserva Martinenga Camp Gros is a very pretty wine, and also a Camp Gros that will drink well upon release. It shows good freshness, but also the smaller scaled style of the year. Dark red fruit, rose petal, mint, blood orange, cedar and spice. This is a very pretty wine, but it does not have the body or dark balsamic profile that are the signatures of Camp Gros in its strongest years. 93
MARCH 2021
Marchesi di Grésy Barbaresco "Camp Gros" Martinenga Riserva DOCG 2015
 "Aromas of vanilla and spicy oak embrace the cherry and plum flavors here. Tar, tobacco and eucalyptus accents chime in as a thick matrix of tannins truncates the finish. It feels chunky today, yet should stretch out in time. Best from 2024 through 2043. 602 cases made." 95
NOVEMBER 2020
Marchesi di Grésy Barbaresco "Gaiun" Martinenga DOCG 2016
Gorgeous aromas of cherry, strawberry, rose, eucalyptus, iron and tar mark this detailed red, which is balanced and rich, with a firm, well-integrated structure for support. Long and expansive on the finish, with a slightly dusty feel in the end. Best from 2023 through 2042. 94
MAY 2023
Marchesi di Grésy Barbaresco "Gaiun" Martinenga DOCG 2018

NOVEMBER 2023
Marchesi di Grésy Sauvignon Langhe DOC 2021
 Bright citrus and stone fruit notes dominate, with a refreshing hint of minerality in the background. The wine offers a layered and textured palate, zippy and slightly herbal, but fruit-forward, with a zesty citrus character. 91
FEBRUARY 2022
Marchesi di Grésy Barbaresco Martinenga DOCG 2018
The 2018 Barbaresco Martinenga is already quite expressive, its very recent bottling notwithstanding. Crushed flowers, mint, star anise, orange peel and spice are all laced together in a Barbaresco that is all about transparency and nuance. The light to medium-bodied style is classic 2018 and classic Martinenga. |
