Nicola Manferrari trained in pharmacology, a path that followed family tradition more 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 there. He worked by instinct, and later learned that techniques he thought he had invented in Friuli were common elsewhere in Europe. He was the first in Friuli to use bilateral Guyot pruning, only to find it was widely used in the Loire. He then 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 how the wines develop.
