MARCHESI DI GRESY MONFERRATO ROSSO
Aromatic and spicy on the nose with forest fruits, ripe plum and damson. Sumptuous and concentrated on the palate - ripe plum and sour cherry give way to a fine, long, structured finish with ripe tannins. Excellent with a simply cooked steak but also superb with casseroles, or game such as duck. Also rabbit and lamb! Endless possibilities ...
The Merlot grapes come from di Gresy's Monte Colombo vineyards in the comune of Cassine, in the Asti zone. These were planted to use in a blended cuvee with Barbera, but Alberto was so impressed with the quality that he decided instead to produce this single varietal wine. Traditional vinification and maceration (14 day maceration) with regular pumpings over. Malolactic fermentation in tank. 12 months in used French barriques (Allier) followed by 24 months in Slavonian oak casks.
