The Barbaresco Gaiun Martinenga 2017 from Marchesi di Grésy is a single-vineyard Nebbiolo sourced exclusively from the Martinenga vineyard, a monopole owned entirely by this esteemed producer. Covering 2.3 hectares, the Gaiun parcel benefits from a prime position on the western side of the Martinenga amphitheatre. The warm 2017 vintage contributes to the wine`s notable structure and concentration. Expect ripe dark fruit notes with hints of dried cranberries, and underlying balsamic elements. This vintage is aged for 28 months in French oak barriques.

The 2017 Barbaresco Gaiun Martinenga is a soft, delicate wine. It offers a bit less textural richness than is often the case. Orange peel, spice, mint, crushed raspberry and dried flowers open nicely in the glass. Gaiun is typically a more exuberant wine than this. The 2017 is attractive, but also a bit light. I would give the tannins a few years to soften. Antonio Galloni1st February 2022
