Bottega dell’arte del vino was established in 2004 taking over from the Balzarettis ( est. 1932) a business brimming with culture and tradition. Linking modernity and tradition Paolo Ranieri welcomes all those who like to break off from the city and find a place tucked away from the usual routine. A passage in time that only wine can fix to those who approach it with heartfelt respect and attention. Among the scent of wooden shelves and racks of neatly-stacked bottles frolicsome Bacchus delights in persuading patrons to bring long-stemmed glasses to their lips, a real art which makes their senses tingle with excitement and spurs their mind to contemplation. Whether you are from Milan or from anywhere else here your wishes are being properly understood and you are shown around and guided through traditional as well as unusually exclusive international wines and regional and small-scale Italian growers. You can taste a whole range of alcoholic beverages along an ideal timeline, from rosolio, fragolino, cider, pisco and absynthe to kirsch. We make wine gift boxes and baskets and provide fast delivery all over Europe (and Milan’s quarters of course !). We supply hotels, companies, restaurants and bar as well as prom events and trade fairs. We organize free tastings of superb top quality wines and run fee-paying enology courses as well as presentations of wines and growers, books and art exhibitions including photography and cinema. In our times wine can or, better still, must be a means of achieving communication, a chance for good humour and mutual passion.
