Azienda Vitivinicola Bollani

Stefano Bollani was born in Milan in 1975. After completing his studies, he decided to leave the metropolis and move to Malvaglia, his mother's hometown.

After working at several farms in the valley, he started his own business in 1997 with six goats and a couple of vineyards. Over the years, the business grew, and today he works around three hectares of vineyards and some orchards.

In 2010, he abandoned goat farming to dedicate himself entirely to viticulture.

Currently, he works with 10,000 vines, mostly merlot, in the towns of Malvaglia, Ludiano, and Semione.

Most of these vineyards are located on hillsides, so they are worked almost exclusively by hand, requiring significantly more effort and higher costs compared to flatland vineyards.

Since 2008, he has been producing a pure merlot called Impronta, in collaboration with a renowned winery in the Sottoceneri region.

With the help of a friend oenologist, he also produces a wine line called Cà Minola, named after the maternal family home. The Cà Minola range includes a white merlot, a white blend with six grape varieties, a rosé, and a sparkling Cà Minola made with 50% merlot and 50% pinot noir. Since 2020, he has added another white wine, the Bianco di Tessa, made from interspecific grapes.

The company is happy to introduce its products through tastings paired with local products, either in the cellar or amidst the vineyards.
