Made from Barbera d’Asti grapes cultivated in vineyards in the commune of Cassine in the Alexandria province. These particular vineyards were left abandoned for many years until Franco Dapino Benzo (a friend from Alberto di Grésy’s childhood) gave the producer the opportunity to use them. The vineyards were newly planted (high density planting) in 1998 and the vines benefit from a combination of the excellent climate, soil profile and splendid southerly exposure. Deep ruby in colour with intense, super-ripe aromas of red berry and cherry fruit, hints of blackberry conserve and liquorice, enveloped in sweet toasty vanilla oak. The palate is generous and rich, showing concentrated but soft black fruits and smoky spicy, chocolatey notes. The richness of fruit and spicy oak is carefully balanced by the high acidity of the Barbera grape.
Marchesi di Grésy has long been recognised as one of Piemonte’s top producers. With four separate estates across Langhe and Monferrato, home of Piemonte’s greatest wines, Marchesi di Grésy has 45 hectares of vineyards, with 11 ha dedicated to the production of Nebbiolo for its flagship Barbaresco’s, Martinenga Camp Gros and Martinenga Gaiun. The Martinenga vineyard is considered by many to be the best single vineyard in Barbaresco. This breath-taking natural amphitheatre surrounding the winery has been exclusively owned by the di Grésy family since 1797. It is here that grapes from each of the estates are taken to be vinified.
Alberto di Grésy owns and manages the estate. In 1973 he began production of wines under the di Grésy name, vinifying their own estate grapes rather than selling to other local producers as in the past. His philosophy is simple but effective; to produce wines using the best available technology that respect tradition and promote the character and personality of the terrain and grape variety.
