Elegant, fresh and slightly aromatic, it is a young and fragrant white that offers immediate pleasure.
The “Montej” White is born in one of the most well-known and appreciated realities of lower Piedmont. The Villa Sparina estate extends over a hundred hectares, of which just over half are planted, mainly with Cortese and Barbera, the grapes traditionally cultivated in this territory. The suitable soils and a particularly mild climate, influenced by the gentle breezes of the Ligurian Sea, provide ideal conditions for white grape varieties. The Chardonnay and Sauvignon vines are cultivated on the limestone soils of the hilly ridges at an altitude of about 250-300 meters above sea level and facing southwest. At the end of the harvest, the bunches are pressed and the must ferments in stainless steel tanks at a controlled temperature of about 18 °C for a period of a couple of weeks. Finally, it ages for a few months in steel before being bottled for commercialization.
The “Montej” White wine from Villa Sparina is a Piedmontese white with its gaze turned across the Alps. The finesse and elegance of Chardonnay combine with the aromatic freshness of Sauvignon Blanc to create a blend of good richness and aromatic fragrance. It is a young wine that captivates with its expressive pleasantness. In the glass, it presents a bright straw-yellow color and exudes aromas of wildflowers, herbal notes, fragrant fruit, and slight hints of citrus. The ripe fruit makes the sip harmonious and lively, with a balanced, fresh, and savory finish. Seductive and intriguing, it is a perfect wine to enjoy at aperitif time.
