Tenute Cisa Asinari(January 21, 2016; Napa, Calif.)—Alberto di Grésy, owner and winemaker for iconic Barbaresco producer Tenute Cisa Asinari dei Marchesi di Grésy, is thrilled to announce that the winery’s newly-released 2010 Barbaresco Camp Gros Martinenga DOCG (SRP $106) is a “Riserva” bottling. Only produced in exceptional vintages, Barbaresco Camp Gros Martinenga is vinified using a special selection of grapes coming from a small, south-facing section of the estate Martinenga vineyard. The wine becomes a “Riserva” Barbaresco after a five year aging process. The 2010 Barbaresco Camp Gros Martinenga DOCG is the first “Riserva” bottling in the Tenute Cisa Asinari dei Marchesi di Grésy portfolio.

“Adding ‘Riserva’ to the label is recognition of the unique character that the Martinenga vineyard imparts on our wines,” says Alberto di Grésy. “2010 was an exceptional vintage, characterized by finesse and great harmony. We believe that this new wine will further emphasize the quality of wine that comes from our home vineyard.”

Acquired by the di Grésy family in 1797, Martinenga is one of Piedmont’s finest vineyards and the only monopole in the region. With its southern exposure, amphitheater shape, blue marl soil and elevations from 689 to 946 feet, Martinenga possesses ideal Nebbiolo growing conditions.

Tenute Cisa Asinari dei Marchesi di Grésy wines are imported exclusively by Dalla Terra Winery Direct®.
