Marchesi di Grésy has long been recognised as one of Piemonte's top producers. With four separate estates across Langhe and Monferrato - home of Piemonte's greatest wines -Marchesi di Grésy has 45 hectares of vineyards, with 11 hectares dedicated to the production of Nebbiolo for its flagship Barbarescos, Martinenga Camp Gros and Martinenga Gaiun. The Martinenga vineyard is considered by many to be the best single vineyard in Barbaresco. This breath-taking natural amphitheatre surrounding the winery has been exclusively owned by the di Grésy family since 1797.
Produced from the Gaiun parcel within di Grésy's Martinenga vineyard - 2.3ha of vines with a southerly exposure near Asili. The first vintage of Gaiun was in 1982, and it's produced in only the best vintages - an impressive Barbaresco with fine structure and great finesse.
Marchesi di Grésy Barbaresco Gaiun wine is brilliant garnet red with orange hues. Deep nuances of sweet tobacco, liquorice and black pepper are mingled with chocolate and balsamic notes. Elegantly structured and harmonious, with a very fine and silky tannic texture. Ideal with game dishes, red meat, seasoned cheeses and hard pasta.
