Fresh and aromatic on the nose with forest fruit and damson. The complex palate is vibrant with notes of dark plum and sour cherry, together with ripe tannins and a hint of spice - leading to a fine, long and structured finish.

A fine, mature red from the iconic Marchesi di Grésy estate. Produced from Merlot grown on their Monte Colombo vineyard in the Monferrato hills - from the 2017 the wine is much fresher and vibrant in style than previous vintages.

The Vineyard

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. 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.The Merlot grapes come from di Grésy's Monte Colombo vineyards in the
comune of Cassine, in the Asti zone. These were planted to use in a
blended cuvée with Barbera, but Alberto was so impressed with the
quality that he decided instead to produce this single varietal wine.
Traditional vinification and 14 day maceration with regular pumpings
over. Malolactic fermentation in tank. 12 months in used French
barriques (Allier) followed by 24 months in Slavonian oak casks.
