Culinary G7 Summit
Edition II – Europe

Jeremy Chan represents an unconventional, highly creative cuisine – shaped by great curiosity, an analytical approach to the senses, culture and flavour, and a deep fascination with gastronomy. Over the years, he has honed his techniques and craft through intensive research and consistent hands-on practice. His cooking style is exploratory and unconstrained: he boldly combines international flavour worlds with familiar ingredients, without being limited by geographic borders or fixed expectations. The focus is always on the final result on the plate – uncompromising, maximum enjoyment.

Nick Bril describes his cuisine as “locally sourced, world inspired” – rooted in the region, yet shaped by impressions from around the world. For him, pleasure is not luxury for its own sake, but something guests should experience consciously – especially in challenging times. His cooking style is a modern, carefully composed fusion of innovative techniques and a classical foundation. Many components are prepared à la minute to preserve the purity of flavours. Bril stands for luxury with purpose: defined not only by exceptional products, but by precision, balance, and depth – yet for him, above all, one thing matters in the end: it has to be delicious.

Silvio Nickol interprets haute cuisine as a refined composition of French precision, cosmopolitan inspiration, and exceptional product quality. His cuisine combines clear flavours, playful textures and a confident signature that unites surprise with balance. Supported by an internationally renowned wine cellar, the result is a culinary experience that brings precision, creativity and depth into harmonious alignment.

With its now-legendary X-Berg Duck, the Orania.Restaurant has made a name for itself far beyond Berlin. This success has been shaped in particular by Managing Director and Head Chef Philipp Vogel. Born in Cologne, his career took him through renowned kitchens in Shanghai, London, Vienna, and Berlin. What sets him apart is his great passion, creativity and a constant drive to discover new ideas – and bring them to life on the plate.

TRADITION & PROGRESS

After 500 years of winemaking tradition, Gert Joachim Aldinger took over the estate. Today, he is often referred to as the “King of the Kappelberg.” By cultivating international grape varieties and radically reducing yields, he has played a decisive role in showing the region a new direction.

Fifteen years later, the winery ranks among the leaders in Württemberg, with sons Hansjörg and Matthias Aldinger now setting the pace. Remarkably – and characteristically for the family – each generation has seamlessly built on the estate’s long-standing winemaking tradition.

The Nittardi estate is located on the border between the provinces of Siena and Florence and was originally a well-known fortified tower as early as 1183 under the name “Nectar Dei” (“Nectar of the Gods”). In the 16th century, the extensive property belonged to the Renaissance artist Michelangelo Buonarroti, who painted the Sistine Chapel.
Over the centuries, the estate passed through the hands of various owners until Frankfurt publisher and gallerist Peter Femfert took over in 1981 together with his wife Stefania Canali, a historian from Venice. With great care and dedication, Stefania and Peter gradually restored Nittardi. Since 2013, Léon Femfert has also been involved at the winery, overseeing both production and Nittardi’s business operations.

The unique combination of art and wine, in memory of Michelangelo, continues to be cultivated at Nittardi to this day. Each year, a renowned artist designs the label and wrapping paper for Casanuova di Nittardi Vigna Doghessa. The collection, started in 1981, includes works by internationally acclaimed artists such as Hundertwasser, Corneille, Horst Janssen, Igor Mitoraj, Yoko Ono, Günter Grass, Dario Fo, Karl Otto Götz, Allen Jones, and Mikis Theodorakis.
