Cantine

In 1797 Martinenga became the property of the noble Marchesi di Grésy family, who added it to Monte Aribaldo in Treiso, a hilltop property overlooking the valley, previously acquired in 1635 and situated a few kilometres from Martinenga, where today some of the finest Barbaresco Nebbiolo crus (Martinenga, Asili, Rabajà) are to be found. The family later increased the size of the Estates with the properties in Cassine (AL), which grandmother Giulia Pellizzari brought as her dowry. The Tenute Cisa Asinari dei Marchesi di Grésy include four estates situated in the Langhe and Monferrato areas, which are recognized as the home of Piedmont's greatest wines. Martinenga in the Langhe, in Barbaresco near Alba, an area of ancient traditions, produces mainly Nebbiolo grapes for Barbaresco DOCG, but also Barbera and Cabernet Sauvignon grapes. More recent plantings have been Chardonnay and Sauvignon Blanc. A short distance away, in Treiso d'Alba, is Monte Aribaldo, a vineyard planted with Dolcetto d'Alba, Chardonnay and Sauvignon Blanc grapes.  La Serra at Cassine in the Monferrato area, is planted with Moscato d'Asti DOCG, Barbera d'Asti and Merlot (Monferrato Red), while Monte Colombo is an estate devoted to Merlot and Barbera d'Asti.
