A fabulous and elegant Barbaresco from Marchesi Di Gresy, the Martinenga is 100% Nebbiolo grape and is by far their most important offering. The nose has notes of sweet tobacco, leather, and spice, leading into violet, wild wood berries, strawberries, and sour black cherry jam, with a pleasant balsamic note of cloves. The palate is likewise jammy and rich in structure, with good backbone that is full, harmonious, with good complexity and persistent aftertaste. Pairs beautifully with richly seasoned red and white meats or with mature cheeses.
