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...

Vigneto Quartino

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 of the spirit. Let them breathe in their glasses, watch them

Wine is love, it’s passion, it’s the spirit of our land in transparence, taste them with pleasure, forget the

obsession of time and wait for their flavour to become more and more strong and intense.

Since 1996

a great work and intense rest Winters are harsh and summers torrid under the roof of the Delea vinegar house. They wait there for many years, 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.
