Villa Sparina Gavi di Gavi 2023, Piedmont D.O.C.G., Italy: Villa Sparina’s Gavi di Gavi 2023 unfurls an intriguing aromatic profile with lively lemon zest, soft nectarine, and a gentle orchard nuance reminiscent of a classic pome note. These layers are complemented by hints of fresh garden botanicals and a trace of warming spice, all underpinned by a firm, stone-derived structure. On the palate, the wine is buoyant and luminous, evolving gracefully into a sustained finish. It makes an excellent partner for herb-infused roast chicken or a decadent gnocchi with creamy pesto sauce.
