i. Biography
Nicola Manferrari’s relationship to wine is framed by a first training in Pharmacy, a discipline he has described with unusual candour. “I took a degree in Pharmacy to keep my family happy,” he said, and the line reads less as a backstory than as evidence of a trade chosen by temperament rather than inheritance. Read together, the two remarks map the same point from both sides: the precision was there, but the fit was not.
The Climb
Training at Pharmacy gave Nicola Manferrari a formal education in exactness. The field depends on measurement, routine, and attention to small margins, and those are the habits that can carry cleanly into any craft built on control and consistency. Nothing in the record here adds a step-by-step transition, but the foundation is clear enough: first the study, then the recognition, in his own words, that the work of pharmacist was not the right one for him.

Signature
Nicola's signature wines include Studio di Bianco, Ronco della Chiesa, Rosso della Centa, Rosso Riserva, and Milleponche Rosso VdT. The list spans a clear range of naming and register, from the lighter note implied by Studio di Bianco to the firmer weight of Rosso Riserva and Milleponche Rosso VdT. Taken as a set, they read as a maker’s working vocabulary: distinct bottlings, each carrying its own identity within the same body of work.
In Their Words “Col senno di poi, credo proprio che per il mestiere di farmacista non ci fossi tagliato.” “I took a degree in Pharmacy to keep my family happy.”
