Located, as its name suggests, at the foot of the Alps bordering France and Switzerland, Piedmont is the second largest of Italy’s 20 regions, after Sicily.<\/p>\n
Recognized for its industry like Fiat in Turin, Piedmont is also one of the greatest regions in the world in terms of cuisine (don\u2019t forget the white truffles from Alba!) and wine!<\/p>\n
With 42 DOC and 17 DOCG, Piedmont has more wine appellations than any other Italian region.<\/p>\n
The most recognized grape variety is Nebbiolo named exactly for the arrival of this pre-harvest fog (called \u201cnebbia\u201d in Italian), which prolongs cluster hang time and allows full phenolic balance and ripeness. This grape is responsible for the exalted Piedmont wines of Barbaresco and Barolo, known for their ageability, firm tannins and hallmark aromas of tar and roses. Nebbiolo wines, despite their pale hue, pack a pleasing punch of flavor and structure. Barbaresco tends to be more elegant in style while Barolo is more powerful. Across the Tanaro River, the Roero region, and farther north, the regions of Gattinara and Ghemme, also produce excellent quality Nebbiolo.<\/p>\n
Barbera is the most planted grape in Piedmont, beloved for its trademark high acidity, low tannin and juicy red fruit. Dolcetto, Piedmont\u2019s other important red grape, is usually ready within a couple of years of release.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][vc_column width=”1\/2″][vc_single_image image=”6243″ img_size=”400×200″ alignment=”center”][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n
Tenute Cisa Asinari dei Marchesi di Gr\u00e9sy has been owned by the di Gr\u00e9sy family since 1797.
\nIn the early 1970s Alberto di Gr\u00e9sy realized the potential of his vineyard and decided that he had to vinify his own grapes. In 1973 he produced his first vintage with the objective of transferring the class and character of the terroir, vineyards and varietal into the bottle.
\nMarchesi di Gr\u00e9sy only vinifies grapes coming from its properties, 45 hectares of vineyards divided among the Martinenga, Monte Aribaldo, La Serra and Monte Colombo estates.
\nLocated between Asili and Rabaja, the Martinenga cru is 100% owned by di Gresy family. The vineyard is the only Langhe single owned “monopole”.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
