Non-Vintage
Lombardy, Italy
Although only 29 years old, Alessandra Divella is the on the journey to completely change the farming practices in her region of Franciacorta, Lombardy. Her vines have been organic from the very beginning, and the aim is to eventually move to a permaculture growing style. Grapes are always hand harvested and treated gently. Though she only has less than a decade of wine making experience under her belt, she has quickly cemented herself as a pioneer within the region, and is not only the first farm to grow organically in Franciacorta, but also the first woman-led operation.
Zero sulfur. Zero Dosage. These wines are 100% "Methode Champenoise", meaning they abide by the same practices as the best wines in Champagne.
This saline-packed sparkling reminded Alessandra so much her father, who grew up basking in the salty and misty air of the port city of Bari, that she named this cuvée after him. A powerhouse that brings complexity, depth, and a lingering finish. Your mouth will salivate for hours afterward.
