Company Info

Situated in the hills of Gavi, a town that gives its name to the DOCG of the same name, the Villa Sparina estate covers 100 hectares of land that includes 70 hectares of vineyards surrounded by woods.
Most of the vineyards lie in the village of Monterotondo and are planted with the Cortese grape, the characteristic indigenous variety of this terroir that gives life to the Gavi di Gavi.
This variety of grape is also used to produce an elegant and cool Spumante Brut, made according to the rules of the Classic Method. Ever since 1997, Villa Sparina has been vinifying the grapes from a historic vineyard of 1945, which, thanks to long experience, was planted in favourable position that ensures particularly rich and complex results.

Villa Sparina Resort

The Villa Sparina Resort is a hospitable structure surrounded by gentle hills covered in rows of vines, green meadows and centuries-old trees that encompass the Ostelliere hotel, with 33 bedrooms, a fitness area, a Turkish bath, the refined La Gallina restaurant and the wine producing farm of Villa Sparina, with its relaxing wine bar and extensive, perfectly maintained and functional 18th century cellars.
Villa Sparina Resort is an evocative and refined venue and an ideal location for organising and experiencing unforgettable events: it offers delightful holidays, a gourmet restaurant, meetings, weddings planned in every detail with the help of an expert and a dedicated staff, as well as wine tasting and sales.

Restaurant La Gallina

Restaurant La Gallina is characterised by a truly well balanced cuisine, where the creativity is delicate and carefully dosed, while the contrast between flavours is not enhanced, but gently suggested. The chef Massimo Mentasti proposes recipes that skilfully intensify the flavours of the past.
The chef has little difficulty in exploring the gastronomic traditions of lower Piedmont and, forever on the lookout for genuine prime materials, he respects and interprets traditions, while completing his platters with refined and contemporary techniques.
The elegant and romantic dining room of Restaurant La Gallina has been created in the harmonious proportions of the old barn, while a panoramic terrace welcomes guests to its tables in the warmer months to admire a splendid view over the vineyards surrounding the Villa Sparina Resort.

Wines

Ever since 1997, Villa Sparina has been vinifying the grapes from a historic vineyard of 1945, which, thanks to long experience, was planted in favourable position that ensures particularly rich and complex results.
It gives life to the Monterotondo cru, whose vintages are jealously guarded by Villa Sparina, because they are so closely connected to the heart and soul of the territory; it is an extraordinary wine, capable of enhancing the characteristic acidity, savoury and mineral components of the vine and these qualities confirm a long-lasting white of quality and enhance its aging.
The remaining hectares are planted with Barbera grapes, which produce the fresh and smooth Barbera del Monferrato DOC
.
Like the Cortese, this vine reaches its greatest expression in the selected Rivalta cru: 9 hectares situated at Rivalta Bormida, amid the hills of Acqui Terme in the Alto Monferrato area. The deep and intense red colour of this reserve is due to the complete and perfect ripening of the grapes.
Profound and balanced, it is fruity and long lasting in the mouth.
All the Villa Sparina wines are recognisable for their structural balance, overall harmony and territorial characteristics. The unique shaped bottle, with its unmistakable silhouette, immediately transmits the creativity behind the farming philosophy of the Moccagatta family: wine as a creative principle.
