Nicola Manferrari trained in pharmacology, a path chosen more from family tradition than passion. When his father died in 1981, he took over the family's 5 hectares, 3 of them planted with vines, and found his calling. He worked by instinct, and was the first in Friuli to use bilateral Guyot pruning, only to learn it was common in the Loire. He taught himself French to read viticulture texts such as F. Champagnol's 'Phisiologie de la Vigne.' With his background in chemistry and biology, he lets his palate guide the wines.
