Wine tasting in the heart of Milan

Come with us on a journey to discover three wines, prime examples of Italian excellence and considered as some of the best in the world. The experience takes place at a food and wine institution in Milan that offers the perfect combination of tradition and innovation.

You’ll be near the Navigli and the Darsena, within walking distance of Milan Cathedral and the famous Columns of San Lorenzo, in the heart of ancient Mediolanum.

You’ll be served a glass of red, a glass of white and another of sparkling wine, accompanied by delicacies expertly prepared by the chef using only seasonal local ingredients. The dishes are freshly prepared, because the rhythms of nature are essential in the preparation of food that is high quality but, above all, local and sustainable.

Speaking of local products, don’t forget that Lombardy is a major player in Italian wine production: regional highlights include the full-bodied reds of Valtellina and the delicate sparkling wines of Franciacorta. And all without neglecting sustainability, which is increasingly important in the food and wine industry.

To taste a wine is to embark on a sensory experience that involves sight, smell and taste. For this very reason, a professional sommelier will accompany you step by step on your journey of discovery of exciting new flavours, illustrating the particularities and strengths of these superb Italian products and explaining how to pair the wines with the best traditional dishes.

Don’t miss this opportunity to discover three of Italy’s best wines and learn how to combine them with gourmet dishes. The experience is designed to be suitable for everyone: from wine novices to connoisseurs of the wine tradition in the Bel Paese.

WHAT TO EXPECT

Three glasses of Italian wine

The tasting includes a glass of red wine, produced in numerous different variants and labels both in Lombardy and other Italian regions. Ranging from the depth and character of Carmenero or the fruity, balsamic richness of Ronchedone, to the bold flavours of Inferno di Valtellina, your palate will be seduced by the multiple aromas and flavours of this red nectar of the gods.
After that, the sommelier will lead the tasting of a glass of excellent white wine. These wines range from the fresh floral delicacy of Lugana to the elegant, smooth and deep flavours of Blanc d’Oltrepò Pavese.
Last but not least, you’ll sample a sparkling wine, in which Italy is a world leader.

Three local products

To accompany your tasting, each wine will be paired with a small dish made using local ingredients. As an example – because the menu varies with the seasons – you might try vegetable fritters, smoked trout, and a selection of cured meats.

Wine tasting with sommelier

During this experience, you’ll enjoy a wine tasting with a certified sommelier, who will tell you about the main characteristics of each wine you taste. You’ll also be able to make comparisons between the wines. A genuine all-round experience.
