An unmissable address to have a good time while discovering the different and numerous wines of the region and Italy in general. In this charming little 18th century cellar, completely renovated, you can taste a rich selection of local and national wines, while eating delicious cheese antipasti or typical cold meats. The service is attentive, in a cosy setting. If you want to bring back a few bottles, here you will find some very good advice on how to find the ideal wine to offer or treat yourself.

One of the most famous wine and distilleries in Milan. Opened at the beginning of 1900, the Cotti family has run the shop since 1952. A professionalism that has been handed down through the generations and a friendliness that has never been compromised. Don't hesitate to ask the owners for advice, as they are very competent. Thousands of bottles of wine, the best brandies, high quality extra-virgin oil and balsamic vinegar, as well as a few delicacies (rare pâtés, cheeses and smoked salmon), all displayed in five Art Deco rooms and a vast vaulted cellar.

A very famous oenothèque rich in Italian and foreign brands. This store hides a curiosity: a wine museum with over 1 200 bottles of wine bottles from the th century to the present. To visit it, ask the owners.

A quality gourmet shop, just behind the Duomo, under the arcades. The wooden shelves are full of precious bottles of wine, torroni, jams, gourmet olive oils and various preserves. All of which are brought directly from the producers. Some of the products can be tasted on the spot; a few wooden tables allow you to sit down and have a drink with a cheese and cold cuts board, or to eat a plate of polenta and cotechino (pig's trotter) on the go.
