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.

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
OCTOBER 2023
Marchesi di Grésy Nebbiolo Martinenga Langhe DOC 2022
The 2022 Langhe Nebbiolo is terrific. In this vintage, the Langhe Nebbiolo has a bit more textural depth than in most years, which is to its advantage. Crushed red berry fruit, mint, cinnamon and blood orange open effortlessly. As always, the Martinenga Nebbiolo is done in a style that emphasizes freshness and mid-weight structure. 90

Marchesi di Grésy Barbaresco "Camp Gros" Martinenga Riserva DOCG 2013
I love the tension and the glossy elegance here. The 2013 Barbaresco Riserva Camp Gros Martinenga is silky, bright and buoyant. It is complete and shows a lot of depth. It offers fresh acidity, and while it has a lean approach, it definitely has impressive length. This wine should evolve nicely over the next 10-20 years. -Monica Larner 94
JUNE 2021
Marchesi di Grésy "Virtus" Langhe DOC 2010
The Tenute Cisa Asinari dei Marchesi di Gresy 2010 Langhe Virtus is a blend of 60% Barbera and 40% Cabernet Sauvignon. This wine is always a late release, and there's a big risk to that with so much bottle and vintage variation to account for. However, this 2010 expression has all its ducks in a row. The bouquet is concentrated and thick, with plenty of power and depth. The bouquet shows dark fruit, with licorice, camphor ash and ink. This is a treat for people who love the magic of old wines. Exactly 8,433 bottles were made. 92
FEBRUARY 2022
Marchesi di Grésy Barbaresco "Gaiun" Martinenga DOCG 2017
The 2017 Barbaresco Gaiun Martinenga is a soft, delicate wine. It offers a bit less textural richness than is often the case. Orange peel, spice, mint, crushed raspberry and dried flowers open nicely in the glass. Gaiun is typically a more exuberant wine than this. The 2017 is attractive, but also a bit light. I would give the tannins a few years to soften. 96
NOVEMBER 2020
Marchesi di Grésy Barbaresco "Camp Gros" Martinenga Riserva DOCG 2015
From the Martinenga cru’s western end, adjacent to Rabajà, this Riserva is bold yet balanced in the warm 2015 vintage. It unfolds with lush red and dark cherry flavors accented by notes of lavender and dried herbs. The wine’s ample tannins honed first in barriques and then in Slavonian oak casks, remain firm and mineral, and will maintain balance as the wine ages over the next decade and beyond. |
