Tenute Cisa Asinari dei Marchesi di Grésy

The Cisa Asinari Estates of the Marquis of Grésy, owned by the family of Grésy since 1797, were founded as a winery in 1973 by the will of Alberto of Grésy.

The vineyards are located between the Langhe and Monferrato, places known to be valuable and representative for the production for wines of Piedmont.

The owned farms cultivated with vines are four: Martinenga, in the heart of the town of Barbaresco, Monte Aribaldo in the town of Treiso, in the province of Cuneo, La Serra and Monte Colombo in the municipality of Cassine, in the province of Alessandria.

Martinenga is the real center of the farm, where the grapes from other owned vineyards are conferred and vinified in respect of tradition and nature, to produce wines of the highest quality with the aim to transfer faithfully, as much as possible, the identity of the vineyard in a bottle.

Our company can produce different wines suitable for the whole meal, each of which is typical expression of the character and the personality of its territory of origin. And thanks to a careful work in the vineyard and in the wine cellar our white and red wines can be enjoyed even several years after bottling.

Broglia Tenuta la Meirana

The Meirana covers 100 hectares, of which 63 are specialized in Cortese vines and 2 in red berry grape varieties. The cultivation system is traditional Guyot. The name Meirana is linked to the history of Gavi, in effect, one of the first documents that refer to the name Gavi is preserved in the archive of the State of Genoa and refers to vineyards and chestnut woods in the Meirana locality.

This document, dated 971 AD, marks the winemaking tradition of the area that coincides with the dawn of the history of the municipality of Gavi.

Azienda Vitivinicola Broglia was founded by Bruno Broglia, continuing over time a thousand year tradition, which is now being pursued with commitment and passion by his sons Gian Piero and Paolo. At Meirana, in the 80s, the clonal research on the Cortese vine began, in collaboration with the faculty of Agriculture of the University of Turin and under the direction of Professor Scienza of the faculty of Agriculture of the University of Milan. More studies have been conducted in the cellar, concerning especially the absence of sulfur dioxide in winemaking.

They selected and certified 3 new clones that have been planted in recent years in our new vines covering 15 hectares.

Gavi La Meirana has been served on the tables of the Vatican on the occasion of the celebrations for the 25th anniversary of the Pontificate of Pope John Paul II. It was present even on the occasion of the G8 meeting in L’Aquila in July 2009, and offered during official banquets in the offices of the Italian Embassies.

The first bottles were put on the market in 1974, exactly in year when Gavi obtained the designation of origin. Then, with a gradual schedule of investments, the farmhouses on the property were restructured.

The winery for vinification and bottling was built in 1982 and in the year 2000 was enlarged and restructured. The basic production marketed under the brand Gavi DOCG of Gavi La Meirana, which bears the name of the estate, is characteristic for its balanced almond taste and can be combined with dishes based on fish and white meat.

The most valuable wine produced, is the selection Gavi DOCG of Gavi Bruno Broglia, that comes from vineyards planted in 1953 and 1955. The yield of these vineyards, on average, in the different vintages, ranges from 30 to 40 quintals per hectare, ie about one–third of that provided by the rules of Gavi. The harvest takes place in fruit crates, after a selection of the best grapes and, after eight months of aging in stainless steel tanks, all their minerality stands out. The Bruno Broglia company got the best prizes and ratings on Italian and foreign food and wine guides and magazines.

Another cru comes from the Villa Broglia vineyard, whose name it bears. Moreover, are produced: Spumante Brut Roverello with controlled designation of origin and guaranteed, with the indication “Gavi” of the Municipality of Gavi, and Spumante Brut Roverello Rosè, both obtained with the Charmat method. In the most favorable vintages, Spumante Extra Brut Broglia is produced with the traditional classic method.
