To be surrounded by my barriques,
listen to the silence, smell the essence
of the fine woods, allows me to relive our
work of thirty years made of attention
for wine and care of the details
which make the difference.
Angelo Delea

Wine is love,
it’s passion, it’s spirit
The free and strong
spirit of the Delea
family, imbued
in their wines,
their choices
their way
of creating
and offering
the experts
and lovers
audience only
the best of
Ticino’s land.

Time is a gentleman and our success comes from afar
The new generations,
the disruptive effect of the third
millenium, the need for constant
innovation have perfectly
“combined” themselves with the
ancient knowledge and the tradition
of our land’s wines.

A passion turned into tradition, a commitment turned into lifestyle
We let wine breathe,
we offer it the best casks and
coolest cellars,
we take care of it with
perseverance and respect,
we offer it and share
it with our friends.
We do so since 1983.

Grow,
innovate, pass down and always, love
Wine is the culture of the land, respect for nature,
the ability to learn and “absorb” from the experience
of our predecessors which is an integral and live
part of “good wine”.

Sun, water, land, wind. All begins in the heart of Losone in Ticino
Hard to add more.
It’s Ticino, the land
which holds our roots and
offers us it’s best nectar...

Must must ripple, it must pick up the wood’s scents,
it must rest at the right temperature, it must be cradled
at the right time, it must be able to exalt its character.
All this to become our wine. Just as our grapes are ripe
with the flavour and scents of Ticino’s lands, likewise,
The chests of taste, the chalices of flavour, the dens of treasure
when they must turn into wine, they must find the most
adequate environment, the best place to rest
and the care of the wine masters.

Our piece of history
The small but complete museum set in
the centre of the beautiful arched cellar
in Losone is the perfect synthesis of the
Delea philosophy.
Respect and value the past, know it and
pick up its most hidden secrets to grow in
the best possible way and with the utmost
respect for the product.
Wine is history, tradition, care of details,
love for nature and lots, lots of respect.

All Delea wines are bunches of words for travelers
Wine is love, it’s passion,
it’s the spirit of our land
of the spirit. Let them breathe in their glasses, watch them
in transparence, taste them with pleasure, forget the
obsession of time and wait for their flavour to become more
and more strong and intense.

a great work and intense rest
Winters are harsh and summers torrid
under the roof of the Delea vinegar

in the best micro-climate to become
the best balsamic vinegars of american
and Ticino grapes.

The pleasure of tradition and the taste
for innovation, the bond with the land and
the pursuit of perfection in all
our products.
These are the values I take after my
father, and which with responsibility
I want to keep unchanged in time.
