From this winery
  • Start up year: 1974
  • Oenologist: Giuseppe Caviola
  • Bottles produced: 610.000
  • Hectares: 65
The Villa Sparina estate comprises 100 hectares, of which 60 hectares are vineyards surrounded by woods, ventilated by Ligurian breezes and kissed by the sun. Most of the vineyards are cultivated with Cortese and are located on the slopes of Monterotondo, while in Cassinelle, in a splendid basin, there are about 4 hectares cultivated with Dolcetto di Ovada Doc grapes.

In Monterotondo, the sun, woods and sea breezes combine to create an ideal microclimate for ripening grapes and producing quality wine. Here, amidst the cellars and vineyards of yesteryear, the Moccagatta family has created the Azienda Agricola Villa Sparina, a winery that has drawn its strength from tradition and its modernity from creative innovation.

Today, Villa Sparina is a prestigious label that values the tradition of fine wine and is distinguished by the unmistakable shape of its bottles. Read more
