Notes from the winemaker:
The Tenute Cisa Asinary dei Marchesi di Grésy, made up of three estates situated in the Langhe and in the Monferrato zones, is recognized for producing the greatest wines in the Piedmont region. The Martinega estate in the Langhe near Alba grows primarily Nebbiolo grapes for the production of Barbaresco d.o.c.g. as well as Barbera and Cabernet Sauvignon. Also, at Martinenga, are newer vineyards of Sauvignon Blanc and Chardonnay. Nearby in the Commune of Treiso d'Alba is the Monte Aribaldo estate where Dolcetto d'Alba d.o.c. is grown along with Chardonnay and Sauvignon d.o.c.. In Monferrato, in the Commune of Cassine, the La Serra and Monte Columbo estates produce Moscato d'Asti d.o.c.g., Barbera d'Asti and Merlot (Monferrato Rosso) d.o.c..

Our Sauvignon has regulary satisfied us with its decisive character, displaying intense and varietal aromas of green vegetables, reminiscent of tomato and bell pepper leaves. Full on the palate and well structured, this wine can be enjoyed as an aperitif, with seafood, or spring salads.
