An interview to Giuseppe Salvatore Grosso Ciponte, expert and producer of craft beer in Calabria.
Together with Giuseppe Salvatore Grosso Ciponte
The beer has an ancient history which dates back to 5000 years ago in Asia where there have found evidences of the Sumerian population. But other finds of the Assyrian population proof the presence of this drink and of the brewer profession, too.
The beer was offered to the Gods or used at the funeral banquets. Later it also spread to the Middle East and Egypt where it was called zithum. In Italy it was introduced by the Etruscans and they “influenced” the Romans who at the beginning preferred the wine.
Craft Beer in Calabria
We had fun interviewing Giuseppe Salvatore Grosso Ciponte, with a long name as long and deep is his knowledge of beer, especially craft beer. Homebrewer, taster and speaker of beers, he created together with Marco Longo the Maltonauta brand of beers belonging to the craft world.
We have started with Giuseppe a beautiful partnership. We designed a Tour which is unique in the Southern Italy until now, spreading to more days, with guided visits of craft breweries in Calabria where they can taste their good beer and go to see to the nearby interesting hamlets. Another proposal we thought together is the online tasting of the Maltonauta craft beer with the matching of Calabrian typical products which are made just for this particular experience. It’s an exclusive opportunity!
