Description

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 Barbarescos, Martinenga Camp Gros and Martinenga Gaiun.

The Martinenga vineyard is considered by many to be the best single vineyard in Barbaresco. This breathtaking natural amphitheatre surrounding the winery has been exclusively owned by the di Grésy family since 1797.

The Martinenga vineyard is split into three sections – Gaiun (2.3ha south-facing), Camp Gros (2.6ha south-west facing) and Martinenga (6.5ha facing south/south-west).

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 respects tradition and promotes the character and personality of the terrain and grape variety.
