Alex Della Vecchia
Alex Della Vecchia is a natural winemaker based in the Veneto region of northeastern Italy. He began his winemaking journey in 2017, establishing his project, Ombretta Agricola, after gaining experience working alongside the late Ernesto Cattel of Costadilà, a respected figure in preserving traditional Prosecco methods.
🌿 Philosophy & Practices
Alex Della Vecchia focuses on organic agriculture with special attention to the processes from the vineyard to the winery. In the cellar, everything is done with the help of indigenous yeasts. Fermentations occur spontaneously, and the wines are not filtered or clarified. This natural, artisanal approach in the cellar, combined with respectful and healthy cultivation, results in exceptional wines with an authentically territorial flavor.
🍇 Vineyards & Terroir
Alex's vineyards are located in the province of Belluno, at the foot of the Dolomites, where he cultivates Pinot Noir and other varieties. Additionally, he farms four hectares in San Donà di Piave, growing Verduzzo Trevigiano, Merlot, and Cabernet Sauvignon. The vineyards are situated at varying elevations, with some planted over alluvial soils near the River Piave.
