Gavi DOCG 2023

When a bottle on the shelf has a particular shape, it is impossible not to notice it. It is inevitable. Such is the case with this Gavi del Comune di Gavi DOCG, proposed by Villa Sparina. The beautiful Piedmontese company, in fact, with the desire to distinguish itself, wanted to create a bottle with a unique shape. An innovative project, developed with designer Giacomo Bersanetti, inspired by an ancient vase, found during the winery's renovation excavations. It has been the most recognisable symbol of Villa Sparina for years. This Gavi, produced for the first time in 1974, comes from a pure processing of Cortese grapes from the municipality of Gavi, cultivated on the hills surrounding the winery, at an altitude between 250 and 300 metres above sea level. The vines in production have an average age of 30 years, which guarantees low yields and high fruit quality. Vinification in temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks to safeguard the goodness of the initial fruit. The result is a wine characterised by a beautiful straw-yellow colour with golden reflections. Aromas of white flowers and fresh fruit with tones reminiscent of citrus fruits. In the mouth, on the other hand, it is appreciated for its full, rich, soft and enveloping flavour, with noble aromatic notes derived from the complete ripening of the grapes. A wine of great character and personality that is appreciated right from the moment of the aperitif, but which also goes well with first and second courses of fish or vegetables. Try it with classic trofie with pesto. Pure pleasure!
