Gavi di Gavi 2010 Six-pack of Half-bottles

This product is not currently available.

This is the first Gavi di Gavi to ever break a 90 point score in Wine Spectator. Although that was back in 2008, it’s safe to say that Villa Sparina, nestled in Piemonte in the heart of Gavi country, knows exactly what they’re doing. With classic varietal flavors like florals, peaches and minerality and a nod from Ina Garten for it’s full-bodied, smooth texture, this value-oriented white packs a one-two punch. If you love Pinot Grigio but want to further explore Italian white wines, this is a terrific starting point. Pair it with Ligurian-style dishes, like seafood and pesto, or simply stuff these half-bottles (they’re awfully cute!) in somebody’s stocking.

Varietals: 100% Cortese

Villa Sparina Piemonte, Italy

This family owned estate put Gavi back on the map after a rigorous overhaul which involved drastically reducing their yields, hiring Piemonte specialist Beppe Caviola as consulting oenologist and renovating their cellar. Today they are recognized as the preeminent Gavi producer with a stunning hotel and restaurant.

We Love This With

If roasted chicken with a glass of white wine sounds pedestrian to you, think again. “I want to prove to the world that Gavi is a serious white wine... fresh, precise, and beautiful,” says Stephano Moccagatto of Villa Sparina. And he’s well on his way to doing so with this extraordinary Gavi, which is fragrant of white flowers, citrus and stones. A whole Poulet Bleu chicken is equally prized for its flavor. Chill down the bottle (though not enough to stifle its bouquet) and roast this free-range bird with tarragon, parsley, lemon and thyme: it’s a classic meal that’s anything but run of the mill.
