Villa Sparina was founded by the Moccagatta family in the 1970’s in the hamlet of Monterotondo. It comprises of 100 hectares of land, 70 of which are cultivated with local grapes for the production of Gavi and Barbera wine.

The unique and eye-catching bottle shape corresponds to the Roman amphorae found in the truffle-rich grounds. Montej, named after the locality, is the baby brother of the Monferrato Barbera, coming from fourteen-year-old vines, with a little Merlot added for extra juiciness.
