BEHIND BELMILAN

Two friends. Two different backgrounds. One idea.

We first met in 2016, during an exchange year in the USA; while staying in the same host family. Back then, we never imagined we’d build a wine brand together.

Edo grew up surrounded by vines and barrels in his family winery in Italy. He can talk for hours about terroir.

Tom grew up in Germany and, until a year ago, didn’t know much about wine. He connects wine with lifestyle.

So we decided to built a wine brand to combine both worlds.

Making something everybody can truly enjoy.

OUR JOURNEY

The idea for BELMILAN was born in 2024 – of course, over a glass of wine.

Our vision was simple: To built a fresh wine brand on Edo’s family winery roots, blending high-quality with lifestyle.

A modern wine brand from Milano

Since 2025, we have been building BELMILAN in Germany from our base in Berlin. With a modern approach, we are bringing fresh energy to the wine industry.

At the same time, we host our own monthly wineparties in Berlin, bringing together 500+ people per event. Through this, we can see how quickly the demand for our wines is growing.

What BELMILAN stands for:
Bringing people together and having a good time.

As demand continues to grow, we are creating amazing partnerships with retailers, bars, restaurants, and catering companies.

The winery

LA CANTINA

La cantina di famiglia di Edo nasce nel 1998 a San Colombano al Lambro, in Lombardia: una piccola regione vinicola unica e l’unica nella provincia di Milano. Qui la vita segue il ritmo della vite. Su 54 ettari coltiviamo, vendemmiamo e produciamo i nostri vini con amore, “dall’uva alla bottiglia”.

Sustainability

LA CANTINA DI FAMIGLIA DI EDO

SOSTENIBILITÀ

I nostri vigneti crescono in diverse aree circondate da boschi, che favoriscono biodiversità e salute del suolo. Questo ecosistema verde ci aiuta a restare quasi carbon-neutral, assorbendo gran parte della CO₂ che produciamo. Seguiamo l’Integrated Pest Management, intervenendo solo con trattamenti a basso impatto. La cantina funziona con energia solare.

Winemaking

VINIFICAZIONE

Lavoriamo principalmente a mano, dalla potatura alla vendemmia, pressando le uve in modo delicato e gestendo il vino con minimo intervento. I solfiti restano bassi (meno del 50% della dose consigliata), grazie alla naturale qualità delle uve. La filtrazione è minima, con un sistema a gravità che preserva le componenti naturali del vino.
