Alella is a Spanish Denominación de Origen (DO) (Denominació d’Origen in Catalan) for wines produced in Maresme county in the Spanish autonomous region of Catalonia located on the Mediterranean coast 15 km to the north of the city of Barcelona.It is one of the smallest DOs in Spain as the vineyards have been encroached upon by urban development. At the present time it only covers one third of the area that it covered in 1956 when it was established despite a territorial extension in 1989.
