Transcending borders
7000 Islands Wine Co.
Confident and cultured, Siegfrid Gueco Bacani or ‘Siggy’, is daring to disrupt the status quo. He is breaking barriers and creating his own space amidst traditional winemakers across the globe.
"I had no one who looked like me. It was challenging to always prove my mettle. You had to work harder than everybody else to be taken seriously"
Hailing from an agricultural family back in the Philippines, Siggy has a special connection to the land with a generational calling to ‘produce something from the Earth.’ Honing his skills working in the corporate world, having previously managed Jack Daniels in the United Kingdom and Moët Hennessy in Australia, Siggy knew these were incubators until he was ready to start his own brand.
