One of my favorite value Barberas
This is a wine made with absolute care. Marchesi di Gresy farms tiny parcels of hillside vineyards with meticulous attention to detail. The grapes are harvested by hand at optimal ripeness to capture the signature freshness and vibrancy of Barbera, while keeping the tannins supple and the fruit impeccably pure. Each vintage reflects the character of the estate, rather than trends or interventions—resulting in wines of exceptional finesse and transparency.
The 2023 Barbera d’Asti is vibrant and focused. Aromas of red cherries, wild berries, and subtle floral notes open onto a palate that is both supple and precise, with bright acidity and silky tannins that carry the fruit to a long, refined finish. It is a wine that impresses on the first sip but rewards careful drinking over time—yet remains approachable now, a perfect companion to roasted meats, rich pastas, or simply good conversation.
Production is intentionally small, ensuring that every bottle reflects the dedication of the family and the purity of the vineyards. It’s a wine for those who appreciate consistent quality, elegance, and authentic Barbera character—something rare in today’s market, where quantity often outweighs care, and prices keep climbing.
