The Tenute Cisa Asinari dei Marchesi di Grésy belongs to the di Grésy family since 1797. The estate includes four properties located in the Langhe and Monferrato regions, which are home to the greatest wines of Piedmont. Prior to the 1960s, the estate operated as a traditional farm, producing livestock, vegetables and fruit - including grapes. At that time, the grapes were sold to the best wine producers in the area, as was the tradition in the Langhe. In the early 1970s, Alberto di Grésy realized the potential of his vineyards and decided that he had to vinify his own grapes. In 1973, he produced his first vintage with the aim of transferring the class and character of the terroir, vineyards and grape variety to the bottle, using the best available technology and respect for tradition. In 2013, Alberto's son and daughter, Alessandro and Ludovica di Grésy began their adventure in the family winery alongside their father. To date, Marchesi di Grésy only vinifies grapes coming from their properties, 111 hectares of vineyards divided between the Martinenga, Monte Aribaldo, La Serra and Monte Colombo estates. Exceptionally, the Martinenga vineyard is one of the most beautiful and largest "monopoly" of the Langhe in the area and has belonged to the di Grésy family since 1797. Martinenga is known for producing some of the best raw Barbareschi. It is planted with the sub-varieties Nebbiolo Lampia, Rosé and Michet, whose blend produces the most elegant Nebbiolo wines. With its southern exposure, blue marl soil and altitudes from 820 to 918 feet, the Martinegna cru has ideal growing conditions and allows the Nebbiolo fruit to reach full maturity even in difficult vintages.
