You might know the feeling: You’re standing in front of a supermarket shelf or looking at a wine list in a restaurant — and you just feel overwhelmed. That’s exactly why Belmilan came to life.
We’re a young wine brand built by 2 friends combining high-quality, lifestyle, events & Dolce Vita. We don’t just want to offer another bottle of wine — we want to create a feeling, a brand people connect with.
In Berlin, we have started introducing our events, the perfect way to bring to life what we stand for; bringing people together enjoying a good glass of wine.
Two friends. Two different backgrounds. One idea.
We first met in 2016 during an exchange year in the U.S., living 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 still loves annoying Edo by putting an ice cube in his glass.
Together, we represent both sides of the table — the wine nerd and the wine rookie.
And that’s exactly what we are building with Belmilan: Showing what wine really is about.
The idea of BELMILAN came one evening in Barcelona,
of course over a glass of wine. Not to export wine in the traditional way. But to go abroad with a new approach - where wine becomes lifestyle, culture, and real connections. A modern wine brand rooted in Edo’s family winery tradition, but made for today.
BELMILAN started in Freiburg end of 2024. From a small garage, like the best startups. In May 2025, we brought it to Berlin.
A city where culture, diverse people, and good energy meets.
A place where we can be creative and do things our own way.
That’s where we launched our Belmilan Wineparty, our main turning point: a monthly event series across the city, bringing together 500+ people per event — all drinking our wine.
Through this we can show what BELMILAN stands for:
Bringing people together and having a good time.
Edo's family winery was born in 1998 in San Colombano al Lambro, Lombardy — a small, unique wine region and the only one in the province of Milan. Here, life moves at the rhythm of the vine. On 54 hectares, we grow, harvest, and craft our wines with amore — “from grape to bottle”.
Our vineyards grow across different areas surrounded by forests that support biodiversity and soil health. This green ecosystem helps us stay almost carbon-neutral, absorbing most of the CO₂ we create. We follow Integrated Pest Management, using only low-impact treatments. The winery runs on solar energy.
We work mainly by hand, from pruning to harvest, pressing our grapes gently and handling our wine with minimal intervention. Sulfites are kept low (under 50% of the recommended dose), thanks to the natural health of the grapes. Filtration is minimal, using a gravity system that preserves the wine’s natural components.
