Cortese from Villa Sparina's storied Gavi vineyards: stone and minerality frame ripe lemon and peaches, with a rich, textured mid-palate that refuses to disappear. This is what happens when a family spends fifty years proving a region's worth.
Winemaker Notes
Lots of stone and mineral character with an undercurrent of ripe lemon and peaches. Medium to full body, layered and flavorful. Lovely rich texture, great personality.
About the Producer
Long before Gavi was trending on wine lists from Milan to Manhattan, the Moccagatta family saw something special in its hills. In the late ‘70s, they snapped up Villa Sparina and began their crusade to put Cortese on the map — and in our glasses. Today, their 70 hectares sprawl across Gavi’s top spots, soaking up Mediterranean breezes and rooted in a patchwork of clay, marl, and gravel soils. It’s prime Cortese territory. Here, Villa Sparina crafts vibrant, mineral-driven whites that are built to last (seriously — some of their bottles age a decade before release!).
