i. Biography
Coming Up
In Swiss wine, continuity is a craft of its own, and Angelo Delea has practiced it since 1983, when he founded Delea Angelo SA in Losone, Switzerland. The role has not shifted hands or changed names: he remains its active principal today. That kind of long ownership shapes more than a business structure; it fixes the house’s identity to one line of work, carried forward under the same founder.
Where They Are Now
Founded in Losone in 1983, Delea Angelo SA is still led by Angelo Delea as active principal. That continuity matters in a trade where a house’s present is often read through its origin. Here, the founding and the ongoing leadership are the same fact viewed from two angles: Delea is both the person who established the winery and the one still directing it.
Signature
Angelo's signature wines include Il Chardonnay, Carato, Il Mago Merlot, Chiar di Luna Bianco di Merlot, and Diamante. Together, they show a cellar working across different expressions rather than repeating a single formula. The range runs from Il Chardonnay and Carato to the more specific identities of Il Mago Merlot, Chiar di Luna Bianco di Merlot, and Diamante, giving the house a portfolio defined by breadth within a single family name.
Honors
Angelo's honors include Silver, DWWA for Il Chardonnay, Silver, DWWA for Carato, and Silver, DWWA for Il Mago Merlot. The repeated Silver, DWWA result across three wines points to consistency in the work rather than a one-off notice. Attached to Il Chardonnay, Carato, and Il Mago Merlot, the recognition sits alongside a career built on steady authorship and long service to the same winery.
