Marchesi di Gresy

Alberto di Grésy was born in Milan on June 1, 1952, where he completed his studies and graduated from the Bocconi University with a Doctorate in Business Administration.

Growing up with a passion for the land and the wine, he spent many weekends and most of his summer vacations at Villa Giulia. This 19th century hunting lodge, built by his grandfather, Carlo, is located on the hill called Monte Aribaldo in the heart of the Piedmont region.

He supervised the agricultural operations of the family estates and concluded early on that he didn't want to limit himself to selling the grapes from his vineyards to the finest wine producers in the area as was the tradition in the Langhe.

In 1973 Alberto di Grésy began vinifying his own wine: his objective was to produce wine with the best available technology while respecting tradition, and to transfer as much as possible of the character and personality of the terrain vineyard site, and varietal into the bottle.

The Tenute Cisa Asinary dei Marchesi di Grésy, made up of three estates situated in the Langhe and in the Monferrato zones, is recognized for producing the greatest wines in the Piedmont region.
The MARTINENGA estate in the Langhe near Alba grows primarily Nebbiolo grapes for the production of Barbaresco D.O.C.G. as well as Barbera and Cabernet Sauvignon.

Also, at Martinenga, are newer vineyards of Sauvignon Blanc and Chardonnay. Nearby in the Commune of Treiso d'Alba is the MONTE ARIBALDO estate where Dolcetto d'Alba D.O.C. is grown along with Chardonnay and Sauvignon D.O.C..

In Monferrato, in the Commune of Cassine, the LA SERRA and MONTE COLOMBO estates produce Moscato d'Asti D.O.C.G., Barbera d'Asti and Merlot (Monferrato Rosso) D.O.C..
