2014 - Nebbiolo from the famed Martinenga vineyard, among the top crus of Barbaresco (along with Asili and Rabajà). A south-facing natural amphitheatre totalling 11.9ha (further divided into 3 sub sections) with soils of limestone and blue marl, wholly owned by the Marchesi di Gresy family since 1797. Barbaresco range from 35-40 years.

Tasting Note: 2014 - Aromas of ripe raspberry, cherry, with cut flowers, chalk mineral, savoury herbs on the nose. Good structure, depth, and generous on the palate, candied cherry with liquorice spice, slight grip to tannins, fresh acidity, great purity, impressive length on the finish.
