What you need to know about Cara Delevingne's Prosecco - Della Vite
Cara Delevingne is one of the most famous models and actresses in the world. She's won Model of the Year at the British Fashion Awards and signed with Storm Management - arguably most famous for signing Kate Moss. Born into the well-known socialite Delevingne family, her sisters, Poppy and Chloe are also well-known for their style, sisterhood and successful business projects. With their prestigious background and flair for taste, style and a good party, it's fitting that their venture as a threesome, should come in the form of their own Prosecco - Della Vite.
Cara Delevingne's journey into the world of Prosecco
Literally meaning, 'from the vine', Della Vite came about when the Delevingne sisters became eager to work together on a shared project. Post pandemic, their childhood friend and businessman Numa Heathcote, introduced them to the Biasiotto family of winemakers, known for their high quality still and sparkling wines from Codroipo in the Italian province of Udine.
Having fallen in love with the family vineyard, which is set across 25 hectares and yields Chardonnay, Pinot Grigio, Glera, Cabernet Franc and Merlot grapes, the sisters collaborated with the Biasiotto family and set out a plan. They liked the sustainability first approach to agricultural methods and wanted something that could be 100% certified vegan.
Poppy, whose handwriting also appears on the bottle, told Tatler: "The winery where it is made doesn’t use industrial methods, the grapes are all hand-picked, the fermentation process is 60 days instead of 30 days [a method that makes the wine extra dry]."
Perhaps indicating that fate had a helping hand in the endeavour, the brand name also happens to be the Italian version of their surname.
What the reviews say about Della Vite Prosecco
"Apart from the gorgeous, sleek bottle, the Prosecco tastes delicious. Many around the world love the sparkle of Prosecco, but the Della Vite team takes care to grow high-quality grapes." - The Luxury Report
"In production, the grapes are also fermented for an extra 30 days, which lends a profound richness, uncommon in most Proseccos. Elsewhere, strong bready notes join tropical fruit savours alongside typical notes of apple, pear, honey and lightly toasted bread on both the nose and the palate. Additional notes of citrus blossom also manifest on the palate, complete with some olive and a whisper of chamomile. The wine also has a prominent mineral note that lingers on the creamy, elegant finish. A crisp, easy-drinking Prosecco best suited to being drunk on its own, as an aperitif, or paired with a wide variety of foods." - The London Economic
