Villa Sparina’s 2007 Gavi di Gavi is pretty and perfumed in its white peaches, pears and sweet herbs. This medium-bodied white offers excellent harmony and a long, refreshing finish. Anticipated maturity: 2008-2009. Importer: Domaine Select, New York, NY; tel. (212) 279-0799

A nice racy version, with lots of mineral, orange and clove notes that linger nicely on the finish. Well defined, crisp and thirst-quenching. Serve with pasta primavera.——W.E.(2/1/2010)—— 85
