Monterotondo Gavi di Gavi DOCG - Villa Sparina

The highly rated Monterotondo Gavi di Gavi from the Piedmont wine-growing region reveals itself in the glass in a bright platinum yellow. In the middle, the tone changes to a charming golden yellow color. After the first swirl, you can perceive a first-class balance in this white wine, as it is neither watery nor syrupy or liqueur-like on the walls of the glass. The bouquet of this white wine from Piedmont seduces with aromas of acacia, black cherry, lilac and peach. If we explore the aromas further, we find gingerbread spice, vanilla and cocoa bean.

This wine impresses with its elegantly dry taste. It was bottled with exceptionally little residual sugar. As you would expect from a wine of this renown, this Italian naturally delights with the finest balance despite its dryness. Excellent taste does not necessarily require residual sugar. This dense and melting white wine is balanced and complex on the palate. The finish of this mature white wine from the Piedmont wine-growing region, Gavi DOCG to be precise, is impressive with a remarkable aftertaste. The finish is also accompanied by mineral facets from the marl and clay-dominated soils.

Vinification of the Villa Sparina Monterotondo Gavi di Gavi

This wine clearly focuses on one grape variety, namely Cortese. Only first-class grapes were harvested for this wonderfully balanced single-varietal wine from Villa Sparina. The grapes grow under optimal conditions in Piedmont. Here, the vines dig their roots deep into clay and marl soils. Of course, the Monterotondo Gavi di Gavi is also characterized by more than just the Gavi DOCG soil. This Italian can be described as an Old World wine in the best sense of the word, which presents itself in an extraordinarily impressive way. After the grape harvest, the grapes are immediately taken to the winery. Here they are sorted and carefully broken up. This is followed by fermentation in stainless steel tanks at controlled temperatures. Fermentation is followed by ageing on the fine lees for several months before the wine is finally bottled.
