2004 Marchesi di Gresy Barbaressco Camp Gros
Wine Advocate: The 2004 Barbaresco Camp Gros Martinenga is a much larger-scaled wine than the Gaiun. This fresh, vibrant Barbaresco explodes from the glass with a gorgeous array of macerated dark cherries, spices, menthol, pine, minerals and toasted oak. The wine reveals a superb depth and clarity, with awesome finesse. Camp Gros is made from a parcel adjacent to Rabaja. 94 points RP. Famous in ancient Roman times when the estate was known as `Villa Martis`, today Martinenga's 11 hectares (29.5 acres) of Nebbiolo vineyards are considered to be one of the greatest single vineyards dedicated to the production of Barbaresco d.o.c.g. With ideal southern exposure and the particular composition of the soil (blue marl) produces fruit that is transformed into a Barbaresco of extraordinary class and finesse. The winery, recently expanded, provides the means to produce products of the highest quality, with respect to the oenological tradition from grapes grown in the various estates which di Grésy owns.
