Marchesi di Gresy Barbaresco Camp Gros Martinenga Riserva 2017

Marchesi di Gresy Barbaresco Camp Gros Martinenga Riserva 2017 is a poised and deeply expressive Nebbiolo from one of Barbaresco’s most admired single vineyards. Sourced from the south-facing Camp Gros parcel on the eastern side of Martinenga, it combines Burgundian-style finesse with the structure, perfume and longevity that define great Barbaresco. This is a Riserva built for collectors, with the patience of traditional aging and the pedigree of one of Piedmont’s historic family estates.

Tasting Notes
In the glass, it shows a pale garnet hue with elegant orange reflections, a classic sign of mature Nebbiolo. The bouquet is layered and captivating, opening with plum, cherry, violet and rose petals before unfolding into sweeter nuances of tobacco, licorice and leather. On the palate, the wine is intense yet velvety, with a refined texture and beautifully integrated tannins. The flavors echo the nose with remarkable clarity, leading into a long, graceful finish that lingers with impressive persistence. While already highly expressive, it has excellent aging potential and should continue to develop beautifully over many years.

Production
Camp Gros lies on the eastern side of the Martinenga vineyards, facing south at around 250 meters above sea level, where blue marl soils and ideal exposure allow Nebbiolo to reach full maturity even in challenging vintages. The vineyard is farmed according to organic and sustainable principles, and all harvesting is carried out by hand. After fermentation, the wine is aged for 12 months in French oak barriques and then 16 months in Slovenian oak casks, followed by bottle maturation to complete the minimum 50 months required for Riserva classification.

Food & Serving
This elegant Barbaresco is a natural match for rich Piedmontese cuisine such as truffle tajarin, risotto with porcini, braised veal, slow-cooked beef and game dishes. It also pairs beautifully with aged hard cheeses. Serve at 16–18°C, and decant for at least 1 hour, especially if the bottle is being opened young.

Producer
Marchesi di Gresy has been in the hands of the di Grésy family since 1797, and today the estate is centered on four properties in Langhe and Monferrato. Under Alberto di Grésy, the family began vinifying its own grapes in 1973, with a clear focus on expressing terroir, tradition and quality. Martinenga, the estate’s prized monopole in Barbaresco, is widely regarded as one of the region’s finest sites, and the winery is respected for producing some of Piedmont’s most elegant and distinctive wines.
