Giovanni Campari, the brewmaster of Birrificio Del Ducato, is part of Italy’s second generation of Italian craft brewers. Like many in Italy, and like our own microbrew pioneers a couple of decades ago, he started as a homebrewer. However, with a degree in Food Science and Technology, he wasn’t starting from scratch. After graduating he had initially worked with sourdough bread, coffee roasting, and the like, but says he was “fascinated by the fermentation process, and brewing provided an excuse to realize the theories” he had studied in school.
