Giancarlo Mancino, the company\u2019s founder, was one of the earliest guests on the program - at Episode 11, back in 2017. Now, a key player in the world of vermouth and aperitivos, Mancino is collaborating with EcoSpirits on a brand new low-waste packaging format. Elena Urbani, is paid to tour the globe and share that news - as Mancino Vermouth\u2019s Global Brand Ambassador. Successful in her own right - having navigated a hospitality career spanning London\u2019s top cocktail bars (Mr Fogg's, Nightjar and A Bar with Shapes for a Name) to a role as Commis Chef at the Michelin-starred restaurant, 'Frog' by Adam Handling - Elena also has a keen interest in philosophy and enrolled in an entire degree in it during the pandemic. Recorded in the back room of the award-winning cocktail bar, Above Board, we cover a great deal in this interview - and somehow only skim the surface of Elena\u2019s multifaceted interests.
