Sparkling Wine List of the Year International Open, presented by Nyetimber 2024
A small and fancy wine bar with a small and cosy kitchen. You go there because of the huge wine list. It’s so well made and rich that clients select their wine from an iPad. The majority of the wines focus on an organic, biodynamic or natural approach. The food is nice but quite simple; everything is made to emphasize the wines. Here I feel at home; the staff is always happy and gentle, and the good vibes are contagious.

Cantine Isola is one of the most historic wine bars in Milan. It's very chaotic during the evenings, but people don’t go there to show off but to breathe the history of Milan, enjoy the charming personality of the owner and drink some very good Italian wine. The selection of both Italian and international wines is one of the most important in the city. Every week, the owner recites a poem to his clients and just this is worth the trip.

Contraste is the perfect wine and food experience in Milan. This restaurant embodies the pure sharp creativity of a chef, Mathias Perdomo, with the profound knowledge of a sommelier, Thomas Piras. The place is refined and sober, with bright lights and round tables. There is no food menu at Contraste: the consumer opens the menu and sees their face in a small mirror. The staff guides the experience, and the guest may decide whether to order a bottle from the comprehensive wine list, with a specific focus on French wines, or let the sommeliers do a pairing with wines by the glass. It’s proba...

Cavallante is one of Milan's most historic wine bars, but it's a hidden gem that is hard to find if you don't know it. There is no sign on the front of the door or many social or internet indications. Sergio, the owner, is proud to keep his place far from the modern dynamics of social media. I go there often because I find a wide selection of wines by the glass. Also, the venue is full of bottles: you can look around and select the bottle you prefer. Everything is ready to be opened and served by the well-prepared staff.

Langosteria is one of the fanciest places in Milano. The place has a warm ambience, with soft light and small tables. It’s a mix of refined and trendy-chic atmosphere, frequented by business people and high-spending consumers. It’s one of the most renowned places for high-quality fish, but it also presents a wide and diverse wine list. Waiters are well prepared and super gentle with the guests. I go there because of the top-quality raw fish and the vast selection of Champagne, my favourite pairing.

Vinothèque rsvp is a super-cosy wine bar focusing exclusively on Champagne and still French wines. It’s really small so you'd better reserve a table in advance. The bar is bright with marble tables and bottles on the wall, ready to be chosen and opened to enjoy. During the day, it is open for selling bottles, and early in the evening for aperitifs. I go there to find a small piece of Paris in the heart of Milan. The staff is kind and always willing to let you try a glass of rare Champagne.
