Villa Sparina

The origins of the Villa Sparina winery date back to the 18th century when a portion of the winery which still exists today (including the cellars) was built as a farmhouse in the heart of the Gavi district by the Marquis de Franzoni of Genova. Today, Villa Sparina cultivates 70 hectares of vines dedicated to indigenous varities, particularly Cortese and Barbera. Though the property comprises a total of 100 hectares, the remainder is left to forest and open spaces to provide shelter for the vines and a greater biodiversity. Villa Sparina firmly believes that the best wines are made in the vineyards and this philosophy leads them to value the land above all else.
