Giancarlo Moretti Polegato, President of Villa Sandi, expressed his enthusiasm for the new appointments, stating, "This is a natural and important step for our company. Diva and Leonardo have grown within the business, gaining a deep understanding of both our heritage and the evolving global landscape. Their energy, vision, and international experience will be key as we continue to invest in export markets, innovation, and hospitality."
The Role of Diva Moretti Polegato
At just 31 years old, Diva Moretti Polegato is already making waves in the international market. Her diverse experience as a Brand Ambassador and Area Manager across key regions such as the U.S., U.K., and Mexico has positioned her well to lead the company's efforts overseas. With в professional background focused on enhancing Villa Sandi’s international profile, Diva is prepared to forge pathways that will strengthen its brand recognition globally, particularly in the U.S., where the demand for quality sparkling wines is ever-increasing.
Diva elaborated on the U.S. market’s significance, saying, "The United States continues to be one of the most dynamic markets for Prosecco, driven by its versatility, accessibility, and its ability to adapt to evolving consumption occasions. At Villa Sandi, we've been proud to contribute to this momentum through a strong and diversified international presence." Her forward-thinking strategy emphasizes the need for the brand to remain relevant in a rapidly changing industry.
Leonardo Moretti Polegato’s Financial Insight

This transition comes at a salient point as the company intensifies its focus on international markets, looking to solidify its foothold in the industry.
Looking Ahead: Strengthening Brand and Sustainability
The generational transition at Villa Sandi is timely and strategic, particularly as the industry adapts to emerging trends.
