Villa Sparina Gavi di Gavi 2025
Villa Sparina Gavi di Gavi is an iconic, beautifully crafted Italian white wine from the rolling hills of Piedmont in northern Italy. Instantly recognisable by its striking, curved yellow bottle—inspired by an ancient Roman vessel discovered on the historic estate—this wine is made entirely from the local Cortese grape. Grown in sun-drenched vineyards surrounding the village of Monterotondo, the vines benefit from warm Mediterranean sunshine and cooling sea breezes that roll up from the coast, resulting in a wine of exceptional balance and natural freshness. To capture the pure energy of the fruit, the winemaking team ferments the grapes in cool stainless steel tanks. In the glass, the wine opens with a fragrant, inviting perfume of delicate white flowers and fresh orchard fruit. Every sip is incredibly crisp and vibrant, delivering generous waves of juicy white peach, crisp green apple, and bright lemon zest. A classic, gentle hint of almond sits on the finish, beautifully balanced by a clean, stony minerality that leaves the palate completely refreshed. This is an effortlessly stylish bottle to open for a relaxed weekend lunch or a warm evening in the garden. Serve it beautifully chilled straight from the fridge to allow those crisp fruit flavours to shine. It is an absolutely spectacular partner for fresh, vibrant food—pair a bottle with a classic basil pesto pasta, pan-fried sea bass, or a generous platter of fresh seafood and salads.
