The 2024 Barbera d'Asti is fragrant, juicy and easy to like. Crushed flowers, sweet red berry fruit and white pepper give the 2024 terrific brightness. The style is on the vibrant, lighter side, but it works quite well for this bottling. Floral overtones lift the close. Tenute Cisa Asinari dei Marchesi di Grésy has been owned by the di Grésy family since 1797. The estate includes four properties located in Langhe and Monferrato, home to Piedmont’s greatest wines.  Before the 1960s the estate operated like a traditional farm, producing livestock, vegetables and fruits  including grapes. At the time, the grapes were sold to the finest wine producers in the area, as was the tradition in the Langhe. In the early 1970s Alberto di Grésy realized the potential of his vineyards and decided that he had to vinify his own grapes.
