Description

91 points James Suckling
"A creamy and fruity white with sliced apples and pears, as well as some flint, parsley and fennel undertones. Medium-bodied, fresh and satisfying. Drink now."

Jancis Robinson
"100% Cortese. Bottled May 2016, disgorged March 2021.
Intense brilliant straw. Regular, fine string of beads. Exotic and complex nose of quince with hints of dark spice and just a suggestion of saffron and bread crust. Full yellow-fruit palate with perfect balancing acidity. Lemon and quince finish with lively long-lasting CO2. Surprisingly weighty on the palate for Cortese. 17++/20 points. (WS)"

Vinous Reverie Notes
Grape: Cortese. Located in Monterotondo, the heart of Gavi DOC, Villa Sparina was founded by Mario Moccagatta. The winery is currently run by Mario, along with his two sons Stefano and Massimo. Head enologist Beppe Caviola, one of the foremost winemakers in Piemonte, has brought Gavi to new heights exploring the full potential of the Cortese grape. All of the Villa Sparina wine are produced from estate grown fruit and are estate bottled. The vineyards are overseen by agronomist Federico Curtaz, formerly of Gaja. They are increasingly oriented towards reducing yields, in an effort to achieve the highest possible quality. Harvest is delayed until the last possible moment, giving the wines great concentration and a wonderful balance of acidity and fruit. Tasting Notes: Fruity with a scent of peach, fresh and well balanced. A pure, rich sparkling wine with a full body and a round texture. Flavorful. Lots of character and beauty.
