2019 Marchesi di Gresy Barbaresco Martinenga

Winemaker Notes:  Fine, gently floral nose with wild cherry and redcurrant fruit. Spicy and lifted with notes of dried herbs. More sour cherry fruit on the palate, which combines richness and structure with complex layers of balsamic, toasty notes, dried fruits and liquorice. Fresh acidity gives balance, and the finish is savoury and textured with integrated oak. Ideal with richly seasoned meats (red or white) or mature cheeses.

CRITICAL ACCLAIM


James Suckling - "Don’t worry about the light color. This is a very fine Barbaresco with sleek tannins and pretty fruit with cherry and dried-flower undertones. It’s really racy. Give it two or three years to open and soften. Try after 2024."
