"...a great classic made from the Cortese grape; a white wine with a unique strength and exquisite freshness that express truth and the region." - James Suckling
For Piedmont's native white Cortese varietal, Villa Sparina is a household name. Apart from the unmistakable, highly distinctive bottle style, the wine itself is a textbook example of the Gavi di Gavi DOC in its delightfully fruit-forward aromatics and juicy, utterly charming palate profile. The Cortese vineyards, including the famed Monteretondo cru, date from 1945, so the finished wine always exhibits exquisite depth and concentration, even showing a propensity to benefit from a year or two in the cellar. Any way you look at it, this 92-point, sub-$17 value star is worth stocking up on. |
