Villa Sparina Gavi Di Gavi Monterotondo 2022 (750ml) *

Cortese, the white grape behind Gavi, gives Piedmont one of its most food-friendly whites, typically dry and brisk with citrus and a clean mineral edge. This bottling from Villa Sparina carries the Gavi di Gavi designation, meaning the fruit comes from the commune of Gavi itself, and Monterotondo is the producer's more focused, structured expression of the variety. The 2022 vintage shows Cortese in a serious register, less about simple refreshment and more about weight and length.
