Overview: With an area of about 45 hectares of vineyards distributed between the hills of the Langhe and Monferrato, the Cisa Asinari estates of the Marchesi di Grésy are a historic Piedmontese winemaking reality, whose roots date back to the end of the 18th century. We always produce elegant wines, suitable for both daily consumption and large celebrations.
The Estates are made up of four wineries located in the Langhe and Monferrato. The head office is Martinenga, an extraordinary amphitheater planted with vines, in the heart of the Barbaresco Docg. Martinenga is considered by many to be the best vineyard in the area and has been the winemaking monopoly of the di Grésy family since 1797.
