Villa Sparina - Gavi DOCG

Villa Sparina is one of the more respected names in Gavi, working with Cortese grown in the Monterotondo subzone of Piedmont. Gavi DOCG is the benchmark appellation for this grape, and Villa Sparina's version is a reliable expression of what the denomination does well.

Cortese at this level is lean and precise: citrus pith, white stone fruit, a mineral thread, and lively acidity that keeps the palate fresh. At 13% ABV it has enough body to hold its own. Serve it well chilled alongside shellfish, white fish, pasta with light cream or herb sauces, or antipasti boards on deck.
