Marchesi di Gresy 2018 Barbaresco Martinenga – WS96 Rated Italian Red Wine

2018 Marchesi di Gresy Barbaresco Gaiun Martinenga: A Masterpiece of Piedmont Wine

Savoring Italy’s iconic Nebbiolo terroir at its finest, this 2018 Barbaresco from Marchesi di Gresy is a celebration of Piedmont’s legendary winemaking tradition. Crafted from hand-harvested grapes in the renowned Martinenga cru of Barbaresco DOCG—a hilltop vineyard offering unparalleled depth and complexity—this wine embodies elegance meets power.

Award-Winning Excellence
Rated 96 Points by Wine Spectator, 94 Points by Jeb Dunnuck, and 93 Points by Vinous, this wine captivates connoisseurs with its harmonious blend of ripe fruit intensity and refined structure. Critics praise its “concentrated yet supple” profile (Wine Spectator) and “impeccable balance” (Vinous), making it a standout among Piedmont’s elite reds.

Tasting Experience
Unleash layers of macerated cherry, spiced plum, and licorice, complemented by hints of eucalyptus freshness and crushed stone minerality. The palate delivers dense yet polished tannins that frame vibrant acidity—a hallmark of Nebbiolo’s ageability. While approachable now for its “immediate charm” (Jeb Dunnuck), this wine truly shines when cellared until 2026, evolving into a symphony of complexity over three decades of aging potential (until 2043).

Why This Wine Stands Out
– Nebbiolo Precision: A varietal hallmark—velvety texture meets structural integrity
– Cru Superiority: Planted at 350 meters elevation for optimal sun exposure and mineral-rich soils
– Versatile Pairing: Pairs effortlessly with braised meats, truffle dishes, or rich cheeses
– Investment Grade: Fine & Rare status ensures exclusivity; limited production enhances collectibility

With 15% alcohol offering warmth without heaviness, this bottle is more than just a drink—it’s an invitation to experience Italy’s wine heritage at its most profound. Elevate your cellar or dining table with this timeless expression of Piedmont’s grand cru tradition—available now while stocks last.
