Collection: Alla Costiera

Alla Costiera is a medium-sized company, almost 30 hectares including some arable land, but their attention to both the vineyard, entirely cultivated by them, and the winery is very artisanal. The wines are simple, everyday wines, and as Filippo says, "wines that everyone can afford, because a glass of wine should be everyone's right." The varieties are the typical ones of the hills: Tai (Friulano), Biancone, Moscato Giallo, Garganega, Serprina (Glera), Pinella, and Marzemina for whites, and Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc, Merlot, and Carmenere, along with a few ancient varieties that Filippo and Elisa have been reintroducing for reds. The vine training systems vary, including cordon-trained spur, Guyot, and Vecchio Silvo (all the old vines are trained this way). The soils vary: the western slope of the Colli Euganei, in the vineyards at Vo’ Vecchio near the winery, has calcareous and marine sediment soils (marl). The eastern slope, in the vineyards at Teolo, has siliceous soils of volcanic origin, where the typical rock is called trachyte. All these profiles give wines with good acidity and interesting minerality and savoriness, with typical hints of Mediterranean scrub. - Importer Note

Alla Costiera is a small, family-run estate in Veneto, located in the Colli Euganei hills near Padua. It is led by Filippo Gamba, who has guided the vineyards under organic certification since 2004, making the domaine one of the region’s pioneers in sustainable farming. The estate’s vineyards, set on volcanic and calcareous soils, are planted to both native and international varieties, including Glera, Raboso, Merlot, Cabernet, and Moscato, with a strong focus on expressing the character of the Euganean hills.

In the cellar, Filippo works with minimal intervention—native yeast fermentations, low sulphur, and restrained use of oak—crafting wines that are vibrant, pure and true to their terroir. The range spans still and sparkling wines, including Prosecco produced in a fresher, more artisanal style than the industrial norm. Alla Costiera has become recognised for honest, soulful wines that balance drinkability with authenticity, offering a modern, sustainable face for Veneto’s traditions.
