Marchesi di Grésy Martinenga Camp Gros Barbaresco Riserva DOCG 2017

A Barbaresco Riserva DOCG from Marchesi di Grésy, made from Nebbiolo. The grapes are hand-selected after harvest, then crushed and fermented at controlled temperature in cement vats. Ageing runs to one year in French oak barriques, 18 months in Slavonian oak casks and two and a half years in glass. It lifts the already high quality of the denomination. The colour is an intense, elegant and luminous garnet red. The nose opens with violet and rose, followed by dark fruit jam, liquorice, tobacco and mountain hay. The palate is enveloping, harmonious and velvety, with a persistent, balsamic finish. It suits braised wild boar and aged cheeses.
