Divella Gussago
Alessandra Divella, at only 29 years old, is working to transform the industrial wine industry in Franciacorta, Italy (located in the Lombardy region). She organically farms 2 hectares of Chardonnay and Pinot Noir. All of the grapes are hand harvested and are grown among the natural environment– rosehips and praying mantises can be found between her vines. In the cellar, Divella crafts her wines using traditional Champagne methods. However, her sparkling wines are zero sulfur/zero dosage, meaning nothing is added to the wine. Her techniques result in saline, dry, long-lasting wines.
