Label / history

“Nerd” is presented as the alter ego of Ferro 13 owner Alberto Burato, whose mind is characterised as analytical. The English name refers to the stereotype of someone deeply absorbed in intellectual pursuits. Ferro 13 calls it its “intellectual wine” and pairs its personality with Pink Floyd’s “Echoes” and the film The Matrix.
