Marchesi di Grsy is recognised as one of Piemontes top producers and the Martinenga vineyard is one of the most highly revered in Barbaresco. Camp Gros is a tiny 2.6ha parcel of Martinenga that sits at 240-290m elevation and is only produced in exceptional vintages. This is a beautifully expansive and elegant expression of Nebbiolo that is now approaching peak maturity.

Producer Information

Tenute Cisa Asinari dei Marchesi di Grsy (often simply referred to as Marchesi di Grsy) is a well-regarded wine producer located just east of Alba, in Piedmont, northwestern Italy. Its central winery is based in Martinenga, in the heart of the Barbaresco winemaking region, and it is most famous for its wines made under the Barbaresco DOCG. The estate has been in the possession of the di Grsy family since 1797, and began producing wines in 1973. The estate boasts four key vineyards from Langhe to Monferrato: Martinenga in Barbaresco, Monte Aribaldo in Treiso and La Serra and Monte Colombo in Cassine. The 24-hectare (59-acre) Martinenga vineyard yields three different Barbaresco wines from different parts of the vineyard: Martinenga, Camp Gros Martinenga and Gaiun Martinenga. Approximately half of the vineyard is planted to Nebbiolo, with the remainder planted to Sauvignon Blanc, Chardonnay, Barbera and Cabernet Sauvignon. The Monte Aribaldo vineyard covers 10 hectares (25 acres) of land and is planted with Dolcetto, Chardonnay and Sauvignon Blanc. La Serra in the Monferrato region is planted with 11 hectares (27 acres) of Moscato and Barbera to make Moscato d’Asti and Barbera d’Asti wines. The small Monte Colombo vineyard is planted with a combination of Merlot and Barbera d’Asti. In 1982, the estate expanded its output further to include a series of six grappas.
