Alessandra Divella
Founded by self-taught winemaker Alessandra Divella in the mid-2000s, this small artisanal estate in Gussago sits on the eastern edge of the Franciacorta hills in Lombardy. Organic vineyards on ancient calcareous and clay soils at 400 meters altitude provide the foundation for traditional-method sparkling wines crafted with spontaneous fermentation, indigenous yeasts and extended lees aging. Production remains extremely small — making Divella one of the most sought-after and genuinely artisanal producers in the Franciacorta area.
