Marchesi di Gresy Barbaresco Gaiun Martinenga 2017

Marchesi di Gresy Barbaresco Gaiun Martinenga 2017 is a polished, site-driven Nebbiolo from one of Barbaresco’s most respected family estates. Sourced from the Gaiun parcel on the western side of the Martinenga vineyard, it offers a subtly different expression from the estate’s other Barbareschi, combining elegance, precision, and the depth that has made Martinenga one of Piedmont’s great cru sites. While the 2017 vintage brings a touch of austerity, it also delivers the signature class and longevity Barbaresco lovers seek.

Makuprofiili
In the glass, it shows a bright garnet-red color with an attractive orange rim, already hinting at its classic Nebbiolo character. The bouquet is layered and inviting, with aromas of plum, cherry, sweet tobacco, licorice, black pepper, chocolate, and balsamic nuances, all lifted by a refined, earthy complexity. On the palate, the wine is harmonious and finely structured, with vibrant fruit at the core and beautifully silky tannins that give it poise rather than weight. There is a dry, slightly строгey edge in this vintage, but it is balanced by a sweet cherry tone on the mid-palate that brings energy and lift. This is a wine with excellent aging potential and will reward patience, gaining further complexity over the coming years.

Viininvalmistus
The Nebbiolo grapes come from the Gaiun parcel, located on the western side of the Martinenga vineyard in the heart of Barbaresco. Martinenga’s blue marl soils, south-facing exposure, and altitude of around 220 to 280 meters provide ideal conditions for slow, even ripening, while the estate’s careful hand harvesting ensures only healthy, fully mature fruit is selected. After fermentation, the wine is aged for 28 months in small French oak barrels, followed by additional bottle aging before release, allowing the structure and aromatics to come together seamlessly.

Ruoka & tarjoilu
This is an excellent match for braised beef, veal shank, truffle dishes, roast duck, game birds, porcini mushrooms, and mature hard cheeses such as Parmigiano Reggiano or aged Pecorino. Serve at 16–18°C for the best expression of aroma and texture, and consider decanting for 1–2 hours, especially if drinking young, to allow the wine to open fully.

Tuottaja
Marchesi di Grésy has been owned by the di Grésy family since 1797 and is one of the key historic estates in Langhe and Monferrato. Under Alberto di Grésy, the estate began bottling its own wines in 1973, with a clear focus on capturing the character of its vineyards in bottle. Today, the family works with estate-grown fruit from 111 hectares across Martinenga, Monte Aribaldo, La Serra, and Monte Colombo, and the Martinenga cru is especially renowned as one of Barbaresco’s finest single vineyards. The estate is also notable for its underground cellar design and use of solar energy, reflecting a rare balance of tradition, quality, and sustainability.
