Miggiano DiVino

Tastings, music, and a magical atmosphere in the historic center. “Miggiano DiVino” returns, the event organized by the Municipal Administration, scheduled for **Saturday, July 25**, starting at **8 PM**, in the alleys and courtyards of the oldest part of the town in Southern Salento.

One of the most anticipated moments of the “Miggiano summer,” now in its third edition this year and building on the success of the previous two. A treasure trove of beauty where time seems to have stopped, surrounding Piazza Municipio, where it will be even more enjoyable to taste wines from some of the most important wineries in Salento and Puglia, with “incursions” from other areas of Italy as well. The complete list includes Baldissero (Piedmont), Duca Carlo Guarini (Puglia), Cantine Losito (Puglia), La Piotta (Lombardy), L’Astore Masseria (Puglia), Madonna delle Vittorie (Trentino Alto Adige), Malenchini (Tuscany), Menhir Marangelli (Puglia), Produttori di Manduria (Puglia), Cantine San Marzano (Puglia), Scarpello Vini (Puglia), Tenuta Donna Donata (Puglia), Vetrère (Puglia). In addition to a food area curated by local businesses and a kids’ area for the little ones' fun featuring stilt walkers and street performers, the evening will be made even more enchanting by the musical corners in the historic center.

Among the musical highlights expected at Piazza Municipio are Duo Incanto, with the voice of Francesca Valente accompanied by Roberto Esposito on piano; Vicoli e Cortili with Federico De Carlo on vocals, cajon, storytelling, and percussion, alongside Andrea Cirfeta on guitar and loop station. Also on the program is a DJ set by Manuele Arghirò, a performance by Duo Sirokos, the art of soprano Francesca Indino meets that of pianist Margherita Mariano, and that of Fluid Echo, the duo composed of Valentina Marra on violin and electronics, and Angela Cosi on harp. There will be some stands featuring typical local craftsmanship, skilled and experienced hands capable of creating designs, working grains and flours, making art from recycled materials, and bringing light geometries and embroidery and fabrics to life on canvases and textiles. “We are ready to welcome – said Angelo Mancarella, Councillor for Culture and Tourism, and Marco Lisi, town councillor with a delegate for Events and Entertainment – those who wish to participate in an event that in the 2024 edition and last year recorded a significant return in terms of attendance.

This is one of the most important events on the summer calendar of the Municipal Administration. The culture and history of wine and drinking, music, and craftsmanship will illuminate our historic center, increasingly becoming the ideal backdrop to host vacationers and tourists who feel welcomed in an extraordinary context.” “Miggiano DiVino” – emphasizes Mayor Michele Sperti – allows us to open our city to a considerable number of tourists, attracted not only by the opportunity to taste wines and typical products but also by the chance to visit the small towns of the Salento hinterland and appreciate their genuineness, traditions, history, and unique architecture, as well as a way of life that remains simple and welcoming.”
