The sublime, refined, and multi-award-winning English actress\u2014already an Oscar winner for *The Queen*\u2014greatly appreciated Friscous and wanted to know everything, absolutely everything, about our Petramar\u00e8 project.\n\nThe two-day festival in Melissano was also attended by Andy Luotto and the \u201cgustosofo\u201d Michele Di Carlo, who created a cocktail especially for the occasion. Oscar winner Helen Mirren was a guest at CiboPerBacco in Melissano. On August 7, the opening night of the festival, the Hollywood actress and her husband, director Taylor Hackford, visited the event\u2019s stands to discover the stories and products of the guardian farmers and small local producers. The occasion was an important opportunity to share the story of the Ugento Fishermen\u2019s Presidio and the project that links them to Slow Food.\n\nThe event, organized by the local Pro Loco in collaboration with the Municipality of Melissano and under the patronage of the Slow Food Sud Salento Convivia, takes shape as a social, cultural, and food-and-wine festival aspiring to be a springboard for ideas, collaborations, and awareness. The main theme of this year was small-scale coastal fishing and its sustainability, because caring for our seas starts with defending and promoting the ancient fishing traditions that respect the environment and biodiversity.\n\nThe opening evening of the 2019 edition featured the large event \u201cOsteria Piazza Vecchia,\u201d a very special dinner under the stars in the heart of Melissano\u2019s Piazza Vecchia. The menu told the story of the territory through PAT, DOP, Community products, and Slow Food Presidia, all strictly local. At the beginning of the year, the \u201cCap Salento\u201d project (Community of Salento Farmers and Fishermen) came to an end. It was created with the aim of protecting the environment and promoting the rediscovery of sustainable agricultural and fishing practices that safeguard small producers and products at risk of extinction. Thus was born the Slow Food Presidio for sustainable fishing in the Ugento shallows, which CiboPerBacco set out to showcase and, in its own small way, support.\n\nFor the 2019 edition of CiboPerBacco, everything revolved around the \u201csustainable\u201d catch of the nine fishermen of the Presidio: from Andy Luotto\u2019s cooking show to the culinary contest featuring homemakers, enthusiasts, and all those who wanted to challenge themselves on the CiboPerBacco stage in a competition led by Luotto himself, where the winner was chosen by both a popular jury and a heavyweight technical jury.\n\nThe food-and-wine route winding through the village\u2019s narrow streets, instead, told the story of the area\u2019s small strictly producing companies, local craftsmanship, street food, the wine square, and microbreweries, culminating in the evocative inner garden of Palazzo De Donatis with Spirits&Music, curated by the \u201cgustosofo\u201d Michele Di Carlo. He guided guests on a sensory journey of cocktails and spirits by Bonaventura Maschio and cigars by \u201cAmici del Toscano.\u201d\n\nOver the two evenings, Michele Di Carlo, Slow Food Master of Food, held two workshops: one dedicated to Bonaventura Maschio distillates paired with Amici del Toscano cigars, and another focused on the world of mixology and cocktails. For the occasion, the gustosofo created a bespoke cocktail dedicated to CiboPerBacco: *Milagro*, made with \u201cmiloncia,\u201d GentleMate brandy white aged, *Cuettu* from the Slow Food Community of *vincotto* Primitivo, and soda.\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A delightful Helen Mirren stopped by our stand.
