Marchesi di Gresy Barbaresco Martinenga

In the glass

Aroma: plum, cherry, mint, tea leaf, dried flowers, tobacco

Palate: red fruit, balsamic, fine tannin

From the Martinenga monopole in Barbaresco, an elegant, perfumed Nebbiolo where intense plum and cherry blend with balsamic mint, tea leaf, dried flowers and gold-leaf tobacco.

What it pairs with

• Brasato al Barolo
  The braise meets the monopole's elegant structure.
• Roast guinea fowl
  Delicate game suits the perfumed red fruit.
• Aged Castelmagno
  Salt sharpens the cherry and tobacco lift.
