The winners of the 2025 Italian Salami Championship were announced at Vinitaly in Verona. The event took place in the Calabria Region’s area, with speeches by Regional Councillor Gian Luca Gallo and ARSAC Director-General Senator Fulvia Michela Caligiuri: the Accademia delle 5T’s choice of this venue was no coincidence, as Calabria is the region that has produced the highest number of finalist butchers in the last two editions.
«And it proved to be the right choice when, in the final, the Calabrian Ioppolo family took first place overall. It is no coincidence that we speak of a family, not simply of Macelleria Salumeria Ioppolo in San Giorgio a Morgeto, because it is truly a very close-knit family team that carries on a tradition deeply rooted in the values of the local area. And the latter plays a dual role in the award-winning salami, the Soppressata dei Morgeti with Ottobratico extra virgin olive oil – an oil produced from a local cultivar by Olearia San Giorgio, owned by the Fazari family, who are also from the same village on the slopes of Aspromonte» write the organisers of the Accademia delle 5T.
The Vinitaly event provided an opportunity to pair each award-winning salami with a typical Calabrian wine: the selection was entrusted to journalist and sommelier Maria Cristina Beretta. For the salami that took first place on the podium, the recommended wine pairing was a Cirò DOC Rosé, which is indeed one of the gems of ancient Enotria’s winemaking heritage.
