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 "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! 93
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. 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. 88
JUNE 2021
Marchesi di Grésy Dolcetto d'Alba "Monte Aribaldo" DOC 2019
 Tangy and bright with a delicate mid-weight approach on the Dolcetto scale, the Tenute Cisa Asinari dei Marchesi di Gresy 2019 Dolcetto d'Alba Monte Aribaldo takes longer to pronounce than it does to drink with a quick snack of fried mozzarella sticks or rice balls. With this production of 20,000 bottles, this estate strives to make a leaner and more palatable expression of Dolcetto without all the extra fruit weight. 92
JUNE 2022
Marchesi di Grésy Barbaresco "Gaiun" Martinenga DOCG 2017
DECANTER WORLD WINE AWARD 2022 SILVER MEDAL. Sweet, rich, almost confected red berry fruits with contrasting freshness, notes of bitter cherry, perfumed lavender, and a beautifully layered sweet red fruit finish. 94+
JULY 2020
Marchesi di Grésy Barbaresco Martinenga DOCG 2017
This wine pours from the bottle with a light ruby or garnet color. The Tenute Cisa Asinari dei Marchesi di Gresy 2017 Barbaresco Martinenga puts on a fascinating aromatic performance that starts off with candied fruit (like cherry Sucrets) followed by a touch of medicinal or balsamic herb that adds some Nebbiolo context to the larger picture. The wine shifts quickly, moving away from those initial aromas to embrace grounded earthy tones of chalk, limestone, cola and zesty ginger. The wine's pretty evolution in the glass and those subtle transitions are very attractive. The mouthfeel is fine and delicate, and the tannin is well tucked in and silky. This production is 14,412 bottles strong, to be released in September 2020. 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 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. |
