About the guest:

Nicola Ermacora was born and raised in his family’s vineyards in Friuli, where winemaking has been a tradition since 1922. With a background in engineering and experience at renowned Champagne maisons, he returned to pursue his childhood dream: growing the finest Tocai Friulano grapes to craft the most joyful wine. A patient observer, he embraces regenerative agriculture to enhance his family’s legacy while protecting nature. In his free time, he experiments with farming and makes honey with his wife. A true adventurer, he prefers 100 thousand million stars to five-star hotels, recently camping across Costa Rica, Namibia, Tanzania, and New Zealand.
