Bolle was founded by Roberto Vanin, he grew up in the city of Treviso. As a young boy, he discovered that happiness could be summoned with a simple phrase: “Prendi una bottiglia di bolle” (“Bring a bottle of bubbles”).

In Roberto’s family, sparkling wine was referred to as “Bolle.”, this passion for bubbly influenced him to study Oenology and later Chemistry at the University of Padova.

After working a career in consumer goods companies, his dream of creating wines never left him, so today, more than 3 decades later, Roberto has turned his dream into reality. Embarking on his mission to create the world’s finest range of alcohol-free wines.
