Descrizione

The Martinenga Barbaresco DOCG in Magnum format by Marchesi di Gresy is a jewel of Piedmontese viticulture, representing one of the most prestigious examples of Barbaresco. This wine is produced by the historic Marchesi di Gresy estate, located in the heart of the Barbaresco area, which boasts one of the best exposures and terroirs for the cultivation of Nebbiolo, the vine from which Barbaresco is exclusively produced.

The particularity of Martinenga Barbaresco derives not only from the exceptional quality of the grapes, but also from the mono-ownership of the Martinenga vineyard, considered one of the most renowned in the region for its unique position and its ideal microclimate. Marchesi di Gresy's philosophy is to intervene as little as possible in the cellar, to allow the wine to express the purest essence of its terroir.

The Magnum format enhances the characteristics of this Barbaresco, favoring slower and more harmonious aging, which allows the wine to develop even greater complexity and aromatic depth. Visually, the wine has a garnet red color typical of Nebbiolo, with orange reflections that intensify with age.

On the nose, Martinenga Barbaresco offers a wide range of aromas: notes of ripe red fruits, dried flowers, spices, tobacco and a subtle touch of wet earth, which together create a complex and enveloping bouquet. The aging in wood adds nuances of vanilla and leather, further enriching the olfactory profile.

In the mouth, the wine is powerful yet elegant, with fine tannins and a solid structure that promise excellent aging potential. The acidity is well balanced, supporting the flavors of cherry, plum and spice, and leading to a long and persistent finish, characterized by a beautiful freshness and mineral notes.

Ideal in combination with rich and structured dishes, such as red meats, game, truffle-based dishes and mature cheeses, Martinenga Barbaresco is also a superb meditation wine, to be enjoyed slowly to appreciate all its nuances.

In summary, the Martinenga Barbaresco DOCG in Magnum format by Marchesi di Gresy represents an excellent expression of Barbaresco, a wine that combines the tradition and innovation of one of the most prestigious estates in Piedmont, offering an unforgettable tasting experience to wine lovers. wine from all over the world.

Winery history

The estate of Tenute Cisa Asinari has been linked to the di Grésy family since the 18th century; the family has owned the Martinenga cru since 1797. Winemaking under the Grésy label in its modern form was begun by Alberto di Grésy around 1973, when the family decided to produce wine exclusively from their own grapes and to promote wines that expressed the identity of the vineyards.

Production philosophy

The estate places great emphasis on vineyard care and on respecting the grape varieties and tradition: winemaking aims to enhance the terroir’s expression without altering it, producing elegant, balanced wines that reflect the character of each vineyard.

Terroir and vineyards

The estates are located across the Langhe and Monferrato and include Martinenga, Monte Aribaldo, La Serra and Monte Colombo. Martinenga is regarded as one of the area’s finest geographical indications, and the grapes from all the estates are generally vinified at the Martinenga winery.
