Award-winning and sustainably made Prosecco brand founded by the Delevingne sisters, Della Vite, announces successfully closing a £3M+ funding round to accelerate its growth in the UK, the US, and Europe.
The investment round was led by Miguel and Laura Riascos, founders of La Hechicera rum, which successfully executed an exit to Pernod Ricard in 2021. Miguel and Laura will now be joining the Della Vite board contributing their experience to an already successful management team led by Founder and CEO, Numa Heathcote.
Numa commented 'This is the best possible development at a pivotal moment on our journey. We have strengthened our balance sheet, we're incredibly excited to add Miguel and Laura's expertise to our team's, and this puts us in the strongest possible position to accelerate our growth in all markets.'
A gold standard in upmarket rum thanks to its multi-award winning La Hechicera Reserva Familiar, La Hechicera brings a wealth of knowledge from the premium drinks industry with the brand’s unique craftmanship making La Hechicera one of the most exclusive high-end rums available. 'We’re very excited to join this incredible brand and team,’ say Miguel and Laura ‘there’s just so much potential in the category to explore globally.'
Cara, Poppy, and Chloe Delevingne said ‘Launching a business as sisters has been a life's ambition. We've loved the journey so far, and we can't wait to welcome Laura and Miguel to the family and take Della Vite to the next level.’
