Red wineMarchesi di Gresy Barbaresco Camp Gros Martinenga Riserva
Read moreThe Marchesi di Grésy Barbaresco Camp Gros Martinenga Riserva 2018 is an extraordinary wine that reflects the essence of the prestigious terroir of Martinenga in Piedmont. Sourced from a specific plot within the famous Martinenga vineyard, this Riserva exemplifies finesse, complexity and extraordinary ageing potential.
The wine is produced from 100% Nebbiolo, grown on calcareous clay soils that provide an exceptional balance between structure and elegance. The grapes are harvested by hand and carefully selected to ensure the highest quality.
In the glass, the 2018 Camp Gros shows a brilliant garnet-red colour. The bouquet opens with refined aromas of rose petals, cherries, dried herbs and a subtle hint of tar. As the wine opens up, it reveals complex layers of spice, tobacco and a delicate minerality. On the palette, the wine offers a silky texture, lively acidity and firm but refined tannins. The finish is impressively long and layered, with notes of violets, forest floor and a hint of chocolate.
The 2018 Camp Gros Martinenga Riserva was aged for 30 months in large Slavonian oak barrels, followed by an additional 12-month bottle maturation. This prolonged ageing adds depth and harmony to the wine, without overwhelming the freshness and elegance of the Nebbiolo grape.
This Barbaresco is a perfect accompaniment to refined dishes such as braised osso buco, grilled shoulder of lamb or a risotto with porcini and truffle. With a storage potential of 15 to 25 years, the 2018 Marchesi di Grésy Camp Gros Martinenga Riserva offers an unforgettable wine experience for connoisseurs and lovers of great Italian wines.
