Label / history
The di Gresy family owned vineyards by the 18th century, although it sold the grapes to regional producers rather than making wine. Alberto di Gresy began producing wine in 1973. Wines made at the Cisa Asinari dei Marchesi di Gresy estate are entitled to bear the Martinenga area name on their labels.
