Marchesi di Gresy Langhe Virtus Rosso 2010

Marchesi di Gresy Langhe Virtus Rosso 2010 is a polished and characterful Piedmont red that combines 60% Barbera with 40% Cabernet Sauvignon in a style that feels both generous and refined. Made by Matteo Sasso and drawn from south-facing slopes just below the estate’s famed Martinenga property, it reflects the kind of class and precision that has made Marchesi di Gresy one of Langhe’s most respected names.

Tasting Notes
Deep ruby in the glass, the wine opens with an inviting bouquet of ripe dark and red fruits, roses, black pepper, dark chocolate, and a subtle chalky note. With air, the aromas become more layered and expressive, showing the depth and maturity expected from a carefully aged release. The palate is concentrated yet beautifully balanced, with Barbera’s vibrant fruit and acidity framed by Cabernet Sauvignon’s structure and depth. There is excellent harmony throughout, leading to a long, elegant finish. This is a wine with the substance to evolve further in bottle, though it is already showing well thanks to its extended ageing.

Production
The fruit comes from south-facing vineyards beneath Martinenga, one of the Langhe’s most celebrated single estates, where blue marl soils and ideal exposure help the grapes ripen fully. Barbera and Cabernet Sauvignon are vinified separately before being blended just prior to bottling, allowing each variety to retain its own identity. The wine spends 28 months ageing in French oak barrels, followed by additional bottle ageing before release.

Food & Serving
This is a natural match for rich Piedmontese dishes, grilled red meats, braised lamb, game, and mature hard cheeses. Serve it at around 16–18°C and consider decanting for at least an hour, especially if the bottle has been resting for a while, to let the aromatics and structure fully open.

Producer
Marchesi di Gresy has belonged to the di Grésy family since 1797 and is today one of the leading estates in Langhe and Monferrato. Alberto di Grésy began bottling the family’s own wines in the early 1970s, bringing vineyard character to the bottle while respecting tradition, and his children Alessandro and Ludovica later joined the estate. With vineyards across Martinenga, Monte Aribaldo, La Serra, and Monte Colombo, the estate is known for producing some of Piemonte’s most elegant wines and for its strong commitment to quality and sustainable winemaking.
