In Monferrato, in the Commune of Cassine, the LA SERRA and MONTE COLOMBO estates produce Moscato d'Asti d.o.c.g., Barbera d'Asti and Merlot (Monferrato Rosso) d.o.c..

MARTINENGA

Famous in ancient Roman time when the estate was known as Villa Martis, today Martinenga's 11 hectars (29.5 acres) vineyards of Nebbiolo for Barbaresco d.o.c.g. are considered to be one of the greatest single vineyards, dedicated to the production of the Barbaresco. With ideal southern exposure and the particular composition of the soil (blue marl) the diligent work of Martinenga's grape growers produce fruit that is transformed into a Barbaresco of extraordinary class, race and finesse. The favourable microclimate allows Martinenga to grow grapes of high quality even in difficult vintages, thanks to careful selection of grapes. This is the most important guarantee that Martinenga can offer to the consumer. The production of Tenute Cisa Asinari dei Marchesi di Grésy takes place at the central winery located in Martinenga. The winery, recently expanded, is equipped with a "state of the art" plant which 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.
