2020 Camp Gros Martinenga Barbaresco Riserva

The 2020 Barbaresco Riserva Martinenga Camp Gros is a wild, expressive wine. Lavender, sage, menthol, licorice, plum, leather and dried herbs soar out of the glass. This site's classic youthful austerity comes through loud and clear, but the 2020 has an extra kick of mid-palate richness to provide balance. The 2020 spent one year in barrique and 1.5 years in cask. It's one of the most refined editions in recent memory.

The cherry and plum flavors lean to the earthy side in a good way, grounding this smooth red and giving more basso profundo. Eucalyptus, tar and spice accents add complexity as this plays out on the finish. Best from 2026 through 2040. 667 cases made.

The Tenute Cisa Asinari dei Marchesi di Gresy 2020 Barbaresco Riserva Camp Gros Martinenga (with 8,000 bottles created) has the extra fruit concentration and weight that is characteristic of this MGA site. The wine stays faithful to a purist's Nebbiolo profile with tart cherry, grilled watermelon and grenadine. Little touches of blue flower and grilled herb appear on the back end of this firmly structured and cellar-worthy Riserva. This is a real beauty.
