While an official “desk” in his office was waiting for her, Melissa had another destiny in mind. Although exposed to foreign travel and study abroad from a young age, every year Melissa felt the need to spend her summer months in her maternal grandmother’s small village in Sicily, in the island that would later inspire both her studies as well as her professional realm. She studied anthropology at Columbia University, where she also obtained a master’s degree in journalism. Her research focused on the gastronomy of the Mediterranean regions. She was intrigued how Sicily is a unique crossroads of civilizations and how its history is visible and tangible in the island’s cuisine. Through food, Melissa had found a way to travel through the past centuries of Sicily. After her studies, Melissa chose to open a Sicilian restaurant in New York that became a laboratory where she shared her love of Sicilian cuisine, along with her cultural research of the island. After several years of intense research, she wrote a cookbook, Sicily: Recipes Rooted in Tradition, published by Rizzoli.   Connect: Website: https://melissamuller.it/index.php/about    More about the host Richard Hough: Richard Hough is the editor, translator and project curator behind Wine Democracy and Vine and Prejudice.

Since the beginning the founder’s strongly believed in the cultivation of an native Veronese grape variety: Durella. The name of the grape also gives the name to the type of wine developed: Durella the grape, Durello the wine. The Durella is one of the oldest and most typical vines of the Lessini Mountains, area where the company stands. The winery is located in Roncà (province of Verona) and is part of the Lessinia National Park where an extinct volcanos left us a fantastic soil structure composed of basalt. In 1975 the Fongaro Winery decided to focus its activity on the exclusive production of Classic Method Sparkling Wines. The use of this grape variety (Durella) with particular characteristics, enhanced in the sparkling process, and the long skilled experience made it possible today to offer a unique and unmistakable product in the panorama of Traditional Method Sparkling Wines. An added value to our Spumante was the advance of the times’ choice, since 1985, to embrace the principles of organic agriculture, becoming one of the first organic winery in the Veneto region. This style of production once again underlines the respect and love for the land, and also guarantees high standards of the product’s quality.To date, the management of the company has passed into the hands of Tanita Danese, a young agriculturist and oenologist who has long been linked to the Fongaro family. With her skills and experience, she is expanding the vision of the winery, inextricably linking tradition and innovation.

Today, he will be interviewing Andrea Berti Takeda More about today’s guests KUKUNOCI is a tale about food, where Italian irreverent passion meets the dedicated discipline of Japan. Sourcing local produce and inspired by traditional recipes of Verona, our menu offers a unique contamination with Japanese ingredients and their traditional cooking techniques.  We design food with narrative. Our story is about courage, creativity and omotenashi, a very distinctive service. KUKUNOCI is rooted in Verona and its surroundings. We are about nowness and here-ness. We believe the future is about reconnecting with heritage and ancient methods. We are constantly researching into Italian and Japanese traditional ways of processing food, unknown flavours and forgotten produce. KUKUNOCI started and operates as a private dining club offering a set menu of eight courses with or without wine pairing. Close to Piazza Bra, the flat offers a unique design in a quiet and comfortable location. The interiors are the perfect set for dinner, either for social gathering or professional meetings requiring that extra privacy.
