Drinking Alessandra's impossibly pure wines you wouldn’t assume that she wasn’t born into a winemaking tradition or that she is only thirty-four years old.

She organically farms 1.5ha of Chardonnay and .5ha of Pinot Noir at Gussago in Franciacorta (though chooses to forgo the DOCG) which are planted to limestone-dominant, clay-inflected soils, producing a mere 580 cases each year.

Ferments occur naturally, not a single adjustment is made, nor are sulphur or dosage added.

Each cuvée ages on lees for a minimum of two years, with some hibernating for up to five!

The resulting wines are remarkably elegant and nuanced, truly capable of rivalling the great growers of Champagne in both detail and ageability.

The new wave of Franciacorta has undoubtedly arrived!
