Marchesi di Gresy Barbera d'Asti Monte Colombo 2015

Marchesi di Gresy Barbera d'Asti Monte Colombo 2015 is a bold, concentrated Barbera from one of Piedmont’s most respected family estates. Grown on the south-facing Monte Colombo vineyard in limestone-rich soils, it combines power, freshness, and polished oak aging in a style that reflects both tradition and precision.

Tasting Notes
In the glass, it shows a beautiful ruby-red color with a clear violet rim. The nose is expressive and layered, with ripe cherries, redcurrants, raspberries, coffee beans, and a warm thread of spice. The palate is full and commanding, yet beautifully balanced, with the juicy acidity Barbera is known for carrying the fruit through a long, rich finish. Flavors of dark cherry, berry fruit, mocha, and spice return on the palate, supported by fine structure and plenty of depth. This is a Barbera with excellent aging potential, and it should continue to develop complexity over the next several years.

Production
Monte Colombo is located in the Alessandria province of Piemonte, with south-facing vines planted at around 280 meters above sea level in calcareous soils. The estate follows sustainable principles and focuses on low yields and high concentration. The grapes are harvested and sorted by hand, then fermented twice before aging for 12 months in French oak barrels and a further 16 months in Slovenian oak casks, followed by additional bottle aging before release.

Food & Serving
This is an excellent match for rich Italian dishes such as braised beef, roasted lamb, game, mushroom risotto, and tomato-based pasta. It also works well with aged cheeses and hearty charcuterie. Serve at 16–18°C, and decanting for about an hour is recommended to allow the wine’s depth and aromatics to fully open.

Producer
Marchesi di Gresy, officially Tenute Cisa Asinari dei Marchesi di Grésy, has been owned by the di Grésy family since 1797. The estate became a winemaking producer in its own right in the 1970s under Alberto di Grésy, who began bottling the family’s estate-grown grapes to express the character of the terroir. Today, the family vinifies only fruit from its own vineyards across Langhe and Monferrato, and the estate is widely regarded as one of the standout names in Piedmont.
