Birra Follina is first and foremost a family, which over time has been able to expand to include friends and colleagues united by the desire to create quality through unique craft beers.

Giovanni Gregoletto

Entrepreneur, collector, publisher and founder of Birra Follina, but those who know him know that it would be impossible to adequately define him. Always looking for fascinating stories to tell, he comes from a historic family of wine growers in the protected area where Prosecco Superiore is produced. Years of experience in wine production, primarily making wine “with sediment” or on the lees, gave him the idea as early as 1992 to create craft beers, a project that finally came to fruition in 2012 after years of study and insights from around the world. Meanwhile, he published several books and created SUV [Spazio dell’Uva e del Vino, or the Grape and Wine Area] (www.edizionisuv.it), a space dedicated to the history of vines and wines. Luckily, he has his wife Virginia and his brother Giuseppe by his side, who attempt to contain his exuberance.

Virginia Gregoletto

Wife to Giovanni and mother to Giacomo, Tobia and Adele, she mainly manages and rearranges the many projects of her explosive consort, whom she bravely supports (and bears) thanks to her innate organisational skills. Entrepreneur in spite of herself, travelling handy(wo)man, problem-solver, magnet for almost every aspect of management – administration – bureaucracy (see under “Office of Unnecessary Complications”). Her official fan club doesn’t exist for nothing, you know! She has started the process of beatification.

Alessandro Del Pup

Alessandro is a passionate brewer with a degree in Food Technology and a past as a pizza maker.
With his love for craft beers, good food, and many trials and experiments behind him, combined with solid scientific knowledge, he manages to create beers that blend tradition and innovation.
When he's not busy in the brewhouse, you’ll probably find him in the kitchen or in some remote village in an unknown country, admiring the landscape or listening to stories of places and people.

Edoardo Favero

Edoardo is our budding brewer, always eager to explore new horizons in the world of craft beer. With a background in winemaking, he has learned to respect nature and turn passion into quality.
Working side by side with Alessandro, he has brought with him a love for hands-on work and a taste for innovation. Every beer he creates tells a story of care, experimentation, and a touch of madness. If you're looking for advice on which beer to pair with your favorite dish, Edoardo is your guy!

Luana Dall'Arche

Luana, in addition to taking care of the tasting and sales area, warmly welcomes customers who visit us for purchases or to enjoy a good beer. With a reservation, Luana guides visitors through the production lab, professionally and passionately explaining the brewing process and the characteristics of our beers.
Also by reservation, Luana can lead you on a tour of the S.U.V., Spazio dell’Uva e del Vino, a small museum within the same building that houses a private collection of books and objects telling stories of Oenology and Viticulture over the past centuries.

Giuseppe Gregoletto

Co-founder of the company, he has contributed to getting the brewery off the ground with skill and technical expertise. A machine expert, he is particularly involved with the bottling and packaging phases. He has a direct relationship with the Saints whom he often invokes, particularly during said phases.
