Under the arcades of a sometimes overheated old town, here's a wine bar that shows its colors and degrees with 14% Vol. Not a very big place - we're not talking about going upstairs... -it's just the configuration of the building that makes it that way, but it can be extended to include a terrace overlooking the cobblestones, where you can air out or gossip.
