Cocktail revival

Can a cocktail bar contribute to the regeneration of its local area? We try to answer this question through listening the stories of bars in challenging locations, and tasting their cocktails.

We start with Cinquanta – Spirito italiano, a project of Alfonso Califano (former manager of Dandelyan in London, once placed at number 1 in The World’s 50 Best Bars). Alfonso’s bar opened in the middle of the pandemic in Pagani, Salerno Province, offering hot dishes, high quality wines and an inspired drink list. Then there’s Plamb (which in Italian is an acronym for the names different citrus fruits: grapefruit, lemon, orange, mandarin and bergamot), a Calabrian liqueur made with an infusion of citrus peels, made a few kilometers from San Luca, in the province of Reggio Calabria. In tasting the delights of their drink list we’ll learn how these cocktails can also be sources of regeneration and community revival.

Tickets are available online until September 21. During the event you can purchase any remaining tickets at the Event Reception in Parco Dora.

Terra Madre Salone del Gusto is in Parco Dora, Turin, from September 22-26, 2022, with over 600 exhibitors and a series of workshops, conferences and tastings that show how we can regenerate our planet through food.
