About Us

Franco’s journey began in his family’s small business in a hospitality driven area in St. Paul’s Bay, where he first developed a deep appreciation for wines and spirits. With a clear vision and entrepreneurial spirit, he built Hansa into one of the island’s leading wine wholesalers — always driven by his mission to combine selection, value, and personal service.

Franco’s love for music is also woven into the fabric of the business—visitors to the shop are greeted by a piano at its heart, reflecting his creative spirit. His ongoing goal for Hansa is clear: to provide the widest selection, the most competitive prices, and an unmatched level of service.

With more than 20 years in the wine world, Charlot curates our wine collection with care — from small boutique vineyards to globally renowned chateaux. He is committed to helping everyone find their ideal bottle, regardless of experience.

A former Johnnie Walker Brand Ambassador, Charlot brings deep whisky knowledge to Hansa. He leads our online sales, marketing efforts, and in-store events (including our whisky tastings), making sure our offerings stay fresh, relevant, and exciting.

Young but passionate, Stojan brings nearly a decade of industry experience. He guides both beginners and seasoned collectors, offering recommendations tailored to your preferences.
