The experience takes place at a food and wine institution in Milan that offers the perfect combination of tradition and innovation.<\/p>\n\n<p>You\u2019ll 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 <em>Mediolanum<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n<p>You\u2019ll 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 high quality but, above all,<strong> local and sustainable<\/strong> food.  <\/p>\n\n<p>Speaking of local products, don\u2019t forget that Lombardy is a major player in Italian wine production: regional highlights include the full-bodied reds of<em> Valtellina<\/em> and the delicate sparkling wines of <em>Franciacorta<\/em>. And all without neglecting sustainability, which is increasingly important in the food and wine industry.<\/p>\n\n<p>Tasting wine is 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 flavors, illustrating the particularities and strengths of these superb Italian products and explaining how to pair the wines with the best traditional dishes.<\/p>\n\n<p>Don&#8217;t miss this opportunity to discover three of Italy&#8217;s best wines and learn how to pair them with gourmet dishes.

Ranging from the depth and character of Carmenero or the fruity, balsamic richness of Ronchedone, to the bold flavors of Inferno<em> <\/em>di Valtellina, your palate will be seduced by the multiple aromas and flavors of this red nectar of the gods.<br\/>Afterwards, the sommelier will guide you in tasting a glass of excellent white wine. These wines range from the fresh floral delicacy of Lugana to the elegant, smooth and deep flavors of Blanc d&#8217;Oltrep\u00f2 Pavese.<br\/>Finally, you&#8217;ll taste a sparkling wine, in which Italy is the world leader.<\/p>\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Three local products<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n<p>To accompany your tasting, each wine will be paired with a small dish made using local ingredients. As an example \u2013 because the menu varies with the seasons \u2013 you might try vegetable fritters, smoked trout, and a selection of cured meats.<\/p>\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Wine tasting with sommelier<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n<p>During this experience,<strong> <\/strong>you\u2019ll enjoy a wine tasting session with a certified sommelier, who will tell you about the main characteristics of each wine you taste.
