Today’s episode is a special one brought to you in both Italian and English. It is a call to action for the Next Generation of winemakers and enthusiasts to start their career in the industry so that they can continue generations of winemaking similar to Niko and Guglielmo. More about today’s guests: Niko was born in Greece on November 30, 1950. He lived with his family on a small island where his Grandfather made wine until he was 21 years old. After Greece he decided to move to Italy and based his life in Napoli. In 1990 he became sick and after much research the doctors discovered it was due to sulphites. This situation pushed him to plant his first vines in Mirabella Eclano (Avellino) tò produce natural wine without sulphates. In 2003 he bought a farm in Taurasi with an old vineyard of 800 vines where he planted an additional 1,600 vines. He produced a natural Aglianico di Taurasi for 20 years, resting the wine for 7/8 years before drinking. In 2022 Niko was diagnosed with brain cancer and was no longer able to take care of his farm and continue his passion in winemaking.
