Drink now through to 2026. Serve chilled.

Villa Sparina is a family-run winery which is owned by the Moccagattas who serve their delicious wines in their Michelin-starred restaurant La Gallina on the property. In total the estate has 100 hectares of land with 70 hectares given over to viticulture and mainly planted with Cortese and Barbera grapes. One unique feature of their wines is the unusual bottle shape which was inspired by original Roman amphorae used to transport wine and other goods.

Their Gavi di Gavi is the Moccagattas’ most iconic wine and expresses the exceptional quality of the estate’s prime vineyards. The grapes are fermented in stainless steel tanks to showcase the purity and freshness of the Cortese grape and allowed to rest for a few months before bottling.

Hints of honeysuckle, orchard fruits, and citrus zest define the nose while the first sip displays a mouthwatering acidity, light body and pure, clean finish. On the palate there are notes of ripe peach, apricot and almond blossom and a well-rounded texture. The precision and elegance of the flavour profile make this a great match for seafood, sushi, and fish dishes as well as spicy Asian salads, creamy cheeses and risottos.
