Alessandra Divella

The Alessandra Divella wine estate is located in Lombardy, in the hills around the small village of Gussago.

From an early age, Alessandra Divella knew what she was destined to do: make wine. At the age of 28, after working in several wineries to learn the art of winemaking, she took over 2 small hectares that had been worked organically for years.

Nestled at the top of a hill in the village of Gussago, on the oldest Franciacorta soils in Lombardy, she gives pride of place to two grape varieties: Chardonnay and Pinot Noir, with which she makes three micro-cuvées. Alessandra's craftsmanship is state-of-the-art, and she lets her creativity shine through. Everything is done naturally: no sulfur is added, indigenous yeasts are used, the wines are not dosed, and they are aged for long periods in cement vats and old barrels. The result: bubbles of incredible character and precision.

Her Chardonnay and Pinot Noir wines are so salty and invigorating, they'll make your heart skip a beat. Alessandra Divella doesn't come from a family of winemakers, but rather stumbled into it by chance through meetings with winemakers. She does, however, draw on her family heritage of detail and precision. Her Italian father chose the names of the cuvées "Ni Nì" in reference to his daughter and "Clo Clo" in reference to his wife.

Alessandra's wines are 100% champenoise and come from terroir composed of clay and limestone that will keep your palate salivating for minutes.

With less than a decade of winemaking experience under her wing, Alessandra has already achieved pioneering status in the region as one of the first wine estates to farm organically and the first to be run by a woman. The exceptional level of the wines produced is already breathtaking, especially as this is only the beginning....
