Tenute Cisa Asinari dei Marchesi di Gresy – Martinenga 2015 – Barbaresco

The nose is fruity and offers a very fine richness (in the background). This wine should be decanted. It reveals notes of blackberry, fleshy strawberry and small notes of crushed cherry associated with fine touches of raspberry jam, cornflower/plum as well as discreet hints of spices and a very discreet hint of dried ground of local forest. The palate is fruity, well-balanced and offers suavity, finesse, tension as well as a mineral frame. On the palate this wine expresses notes of cherry, fleshy/juicy raspberry and small notes of juicy blackberry associated with fine hints of juicy plum as well as discreet hints of violet and tonka bean. Tannins are well-built. Good length. There is a very discreet hint of toasted almond on the finish/persistence.
