With 46 DOC and 4 DOCG, Piedmont has more wine appellations than any other Italian region.[\/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
The di Gr\u00e9sy family has owned Martinenga vineyard in Barbaresco since 1797.<\/p>\n
In the early 1970s Alberto di Gr\u00e9sy realized the potential of his vineyard and decided that he had to vinify his own grapes.<\/p>\n
In 1973 he produced his first vintage.<\/p>\n
Marchesi di Gr\u00e9sy only vinifies grapes coming from its properties.<\/p>\n
Located between Asili and Rabaja, the Martinenga cru is the only Langhe single owned \u201cmonopole\u201d.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
Martinenga is among the most important Cru\/MeGA of Barbaresco, confining with Asili, on the western side, and Rabaja, towards northeast. A single vineyard of 11.93 hectares in an amphitheater shape.<\/p>\n
Martinenga is the only Cru to be entirely owned by a single producer, a “Monopole”!<\/p>\n
“Compared to the 2015 vintage that I tasted at the same time, the 2016 Barbaresco Martinenga is slightly more saturated and concentrated in terms of appearance. This wine shows a dense inner core with dark fruit flavors, tannins and lively acidity that will continue to find integration as the wine moves forward in time. In fact, compared to the 2015 vintage, my bet is this wine will enjoy a much longer bottle evolution.” – Wine Advocate, 95 Points<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n <\/p>\n Grape:<\/strong> 100% Nebbiolo<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":6253,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":[],"yoast_head":"\n
