An ideal trip that explores the various stages of this travelling artist’s work in Italy up to his arrival in Milan where he painted his last work which has unfortunately been lost: the frescoes at Palazzo di Azzone Visconti. It is, in fact, at this stately residence, now re-named Palazzo Reale, that the exhibition is mounted.

Green lifestyle Milan is always greener! From parks where you can practice outdoor activities, to events, right up to pioneering organic shops, the city is a goldmine of addresses where eco-lifestyle lovers can indulge their every whim. Check out our suggestions! BY STEFANIA VIDA 12 W H E R E M I L A N I O C TO B E R 2015

ilan’s newest green initiative is called Green City Milano. Three days (from 2 to 4 October) entirely dedicated to greenery, to rediscover a more nature-oriented city with events, presentations, botanical tours on foot or by bicycle, workshops for children and loads of entertaining, educational activities open to the public! www.greencitymilano.it The city and its parks Although it’s no secret that Milan is the undisputed capital of fashion and design, few people know that it also abounds in lots of splendid parks where you can indulge in jogging, cycling and numerous other outdoor activities. Lying just behind Castello Sforzesco, one of its most appealing green spaces is the highly central Parco Sempione which, season after season, offers the Milanese a blaze of colours and truly evocative scenarios. Dedicated to the late, well-known Italian journalist Indro

Montanelli, the Giardini Pubblici in corso Venezia are also home to the Civic Museum of Natural History and the Planetarium. Moreover, for several years, the park has also acted as a backdrop to the picturesque ‘Orticola’ event, the renowned horticultural show held during the month of May. Alternately, lying adjacent to the Giardini Montanelli, you will find the gardens of Palazzo Belgioioso in via Palestro. A green space of rare beauty, where a rather odd though charming rule exists: in theory, adults can only enter the park if accompanied by children. And if you don’t manage to visit the park, you can head to the nearby PAC, the Pavilion of Contemporary Art featuring innovative exhibitions and events year-round. Located in the San Siro district and boasting a

rather unusual story, ‘Monte Stella’, also known to the Milanese as ‘The little mountain of San Siro’, dominates the area in all senses. An artificial hill, designed by architect Piero Bottoni, it was initially built on a pile of rubble left over from the bombings of the Second World War. Bottoni dedicated it to his wife Elsa Stella, from whom the hill takes its name. Just beyond the San Siro Stadium, you will find the three green spaces of Parco di Trenno, Bosco in Città and Parco delle Cave. Lying adjacent to the San Siro Hippodrome, Parco di Trenno is one of the largest parks in Milan, characterized by wide open spaces and long, straight paths that can be crossed either on foot or by bike. A great place for sports enthusiasts, it offers free access to spaces specially equipped for bowls, tennis, football, skating and cycling.

After an exhilarating run or a bike ride what could be better than unwinding at a Spa? QC Terme Milano in piazza Medaglie d’Oro 2 (Porta Romana area) offers an oasis of wellbeing where you can relax and pamper yourself with an array of fabulous therapeutic and beauty treatments. www.termemilano.com

Also located nearby are Bosco in Città and Parco delle Cave which, together with Parco di Trenno, form an extensive, interesting cycling route. Particularly noteworthy are Milan’s picturesque Navigli which, besides being one of the city’s most popular nightspots, also offer a fabulous scenic cycling route to fully enjoy the beauties of nature and the lovely views that the canals offer each season. www.naviglilombardi.it Sport for Expo For cycling enthusiasts, we recommend the new initiative offered by LET – Landscape Expo Tour, leisure-time cycling routes to explore and promote the landscape lying West of Milan. You can choose from among 4 different types of tours: Historic Villas and Groane; Windmills and the Olona river; Art, history and agriculture; Waterways and farmhouses. Tour no.1, covering a distance of 36 Km (Historic Villas and Groane), allows you to leave directly from the centre of Milan by train (Cadorna Station) to reach Garbagnate where you can hire a bike and pedal off in discovery of the magnificent villas located in the area including, for example, Villa Arconati, a heritage site of considerable historical and cultural interest located in Parco delle Groane (Castellazzo di Bollate). www.villaarconati.it – www.let-milano.com Also worth a visit is the recently-opened cycling track skirting the Via d’Acqua Nord. The new 8 Km trail runs from the Villoresi canal through Parco delle Groane as far as the Expo site. www.expo2015.org Must-visit green spaces For those wishing to indulge in a pleasant stroll through one of Milan’s most picturesque areas, we warmly recommend a visit to the Botanical 14 W H E R E M I L A N I O C TO B E R 2015

Located within the confines of the eponymous building, this enchanting green oasis is dedicated to research and educational activities. www.brera.unimi.it Just across from Santa Maria delle Grazie, where tourists flock to see The Last Supper, is the Casa degli Atellani (corso Magenta), hosting Leonardo’s Vineyard. Recently opened to the public, this formerly unknown piece of history is imbued with a sense of charm and mystery that is sure to delight all those visiting it. Replanted to coincide with the opening of Expo, it also offers the public a chance to explore the splendid Casa degli Atellani thanks to a one-of-a-kind tour offering a great overview of seven of its most interesting spaces. www.vignadileonardo.com On the other hand, the Giardini della Guastalla can be found in via Francesco Sforza. Remodelled several times over the centuries, the Gardens still maintain all of their former magic intact. Visitors are greeted by a small lake populated by fish and turtles, a wide variety of botanical species and a number of tree-lined paths. A perfect retreat from the hustle and bustle of city life. While in the area, don’t miss a visit to the nearby synagogue in via Guastalla. Out of town Lying east of Milan, since 1930, the Idroscalo has been one of the favourite leisure spots of the Milanese and non-Milanese alike. The so-called ‘sea of Milan‘ (located just moments away from the Airport of Linate and easily accessible by car or public transport) offers myriad outdoor activities designed to suit all tastes.

WHERE NOW | MILANO CITY OF WATER

Villa del Balbianello, Lenno (Como)

Lake Maggiore, Isola Bella

he shores of Lago Maggiore wash up on the banks of Piedmont and Lombardy in Italy, while its more austere northern basin lies in the mountainous region of Switzerland. The most famous island, lying just off Stresa – a small, elegant town, rich in neoclassic and liberty buildings and a shopping mecca boasting a myriad of boutiques – is Isola Bella, anchored like a fantastic ship-garden and dominated by the majestic Palazzo Borromeo, built in the 17th century and rich in art treasures, including the private collection of Milan’s most famous aristocratic family. The Borromeo clan also owned Rocca di Angera, an imposing fortress (12th-17th century) boasting opulent ambiences, of which the most famous is the Sala di Giustizia. The “Rocca” also has a medieval garden (Visits daily from 9am-5.30 pm. www.borromeoturismo.it). The new “Lago Maggiore Express” now also offers daily excursions by train and boat from Milan (www.trenord.it/it/free-time).

Lake Como, on whose shores Alessandro Manzoni drew inspiration for his masterpiece “I Promessi Sposi” (“The Betrothed”) is the romantic and worldly older sister of Maggiore and Garda and takes its name from the city of Como. “Must-visit” sights include the Gothic Duomo, the Romanic basilicas of San Fedele and Sant’Abbondio and the neoclassic Villa Olmo. Lying just a stone’s throw northwest of Como is Cernobbio, a small fashionable resort frequented by the wealthy of Europe because of its deluxe hotel Villa d’Este and Villa Erba where director Luchino Visconti spent his childhood (www.villaerba.it). Continuing north, we find Isola Comacina a jewel of art and nature, rich in Mediterranean vegetation and one of the most important archaeological sites of the dark ages in Northern Italy (www.isola-comacina.it). In nearby Tremezzo, don’t miss a visit to the Baroque-style Villa Carlotta, featuring an Italian garden and sculptures by Canova. At the junction of the southern arm of the lake lies Bellagio, also referred to as the pearl of Como, set in a strategic position to soak up the panorama.

gemstones in the alps Left, Villa del Balbianello, one of the pearls of Lake Como. Above, Lake Maggiore with the three enchanting Borromean Island. Isola Bella is a place of unexpected delights thanks its beautiful Italianate gardens and its inestimable art treasures.

Don’t miss a visit to the other lakes that are also easily accessible from Milan. These include Lake Orta, with the old Island of San Giulio, traversed by the “Via del silenzio e della meditazione” (“Road of silence and meditation”) and dominated by the Romanesque basilica, the Palazzo Vescovile and the monastery (by car from Milan: take the A26 autostrada and exit at either Borgomanero or Arona). Situated just moments from the lake, we find the UNESCO world heritage site of Sacro Monte di Varallo (16th century) with its magnificent basilica and reconstruction of the life of Christ in 45 chapels. As an alternative, we suggest a trip to Lake Varese and Lake Lugano. w w w.wheretravele r.c o m 21

TO - 3 1 OC

6 months of events, 145 participating countries and more than twenty million tourists in the city to visit Milan’s spectacular World Fair B Y S T EF A N I A V I D A

or the second time running (the first was in 1906 with ‘only’ 40 countries) Milan is embarking upon an adventure of international scope, bringing the world-at-large a totally innovative, one-of-a-kind event. Not simply an exhibition but a major event involving numerous players focusing on one singular theme: ‘Feeding the Planet, Energy for Life’. Based on their individual cultures and traditions, each country will be asked to examine its own position and offer solutions regarding the major challenges related to the future of food. A real journey in discovery of tastes. Visitors involved in this one-of-a-kind experience related to the complex topic of nutrition will have a chance to take a real trip around the world in discovery of the flavours and traditions of people from across the globe. Expo Milano 2015 will be the first Exposition in history to be remembered not only for its products but, above all, for its contribution to the ongoing education and debate on nutrition, food and the planet’s resources. www.expo2015.org

Palazzo Italia and the Tree of Life

visitors find their way around the area hosting events and exhibitions where they can sample the traditional enogastronomic specialities of people from all over the world. Expo’s large main square, Piazza Italia, a symbolic place where Italy will meet the world, is situated at the intersection between the two streets. The Mediterranean Hill, Expo Centre, the Lake Arena and the Open Air Theatre, a large space dedicated to open-air events, designed to accommodate approximately 11,000 people on its lawn and tiered seating, during concerts, performances and official ceremonies, are situated at the four ends of the Cardo and Decumano. Solar panels have been installed in the structure covering the stage so that the energy required to generate power for performances can be recovered, if necessary even from renewable sources. EXPO AMBASSADORS

The Exposition Site

Who are Expo Ambassadors? They are the spokespeople elected to relay the message of the event. Each Ambassador has interpreted what the global theme of Expo means to either him or her: they have made Expo their own in a bid to embrace, share and transfer their knowledge. Writers, athletes, philosophers, entertainers, actors, creatives, architects, designers, chefs, musicians, singers and directors from all over the world have embraced this role and accepted the challenge of endorsing the event. All united by a desire to personally experience, interpret and spread the message of Expo Milano 2015. Each ambassador, based on their own expertise, represents an aspect of Expo.

The design of the Expo site is inspired by the plan of a Roman ‘castrum’ , shaped like a cross, with two large perpendicular streets, known as the Cardo and the Decumano. The Exhibition site is located just a few kilometres from the centre of Milan, in an area boasting a well-developed infrastructure, and is easily accessible thanks to direct connections to the city’s three airports (Linate, Malpensa and Orio al Serio) and highly efficient public transportation networks: Metropolitana Linea 1; autostrade A4 Torino-MilanoVenezia, A8/A9 Milano-Como-Chiasso and Milano-Varese, and Tangenziale ovest; and a high-speed rail connection in correspondence to the West gate. Simple and intuitive, the project will help

More than 150,000 square metres of the Exhibition site are devoted to countries who have decided to set up and build their own Pavilions (i.e. self-built pavilions) along the main road known as World Avenue. A layout designed to offer maximum exposure featuring futuristic architecture and a skyline of self-built pavilions set against a unique backdrop. Not only an evocative setting but also one that will benefit the environment due to the fact that each participant must guarantee full compliance with the regulations enforced in order to ensure that visitors are offered an unrepeatable, eco-friendly experience.

For the first time, countries are not grouped by collective pavilions based on geographic criteria but by thematic identities (5 thematic areas) and food groups, i.e. 9 Clusters characterized by communal areas, featuring functional spaces like a market and areas for exhibitions, events and tastings. Itineraries and Thematic Areas

The debate on the theme ‘Feeding the Planet, Energy for Life’ encompasses five thematic routes – both physical and ideal itineraries - that connect the areas and spaces within the Exhibition Site: ‘The Story of Mankind, stories of food’; ‘Feast and famine: a contemporary paradox’; ‘The future of food’; ‘Sustainable food = an equitable world’; ‘Taste is knowledge’. Additionally, five Thematic Areas interpret the leitmotif of Expo with themed exhibition spaces designed to involve old and young alike, serving as both an educational and sensorial experience. Developed by prestigious international curators, they are located at the main entrances and other key points of the Expo Site. > Pavilion Zero Designed by Michele De Lucchi, Pavilion Zero provides an introduction to the visit

of Expo’s Exhibition Site and explores the story of Mankind through his relationship with nature and food, the transformation of natural landskape, and the culture and rituals of food consumption. > Future Food District (#FFD) Located at the crossroads between the Cardo and the Decumano, it comprises a pavilion extending over a surface area of 2,500 square metres (Supermarket) and a public square. While browsing the different areas of the Supermarket, visitors will have a chance to explore and gain in-depth insight into a more ethical, transparent food chain, achieved through the use of new technologies. > Children’s Park A play area dedicated to children, designed to help youngsters learn about the complex theme of sustainability in a fun way. The Park not only provides loads of entertaining games and activities but also serves as a place where parents and their children can relax. > Biodiversity Park Extending over a surface area of 8,500 square metres, it includes the Park, a theatre and two Pavilions, one dedicated to Natural, Organic products, the other housing the Biodiversity Exhibition. Its aim is to promote

The exhibition looks at the multi-faceted relationship between art and food, offering an in-depth analysis of its preparation, distribution and sharing, in both the private and public spheres. More than 15 spaces host the exhibition dedicated to the places of food and its representation in paintings, furniture, objects, sculptures, appliances, photographs, menus, books and record covers.

Ristorante Contraste Eclectic chef Matias Perdomo, already the recipient of one Michelin star at Il Pont de Ferr in the Navigli district, has just opened the doors of his new restaurant. Matias, who works in collaboration with Thomas Piras and Simon Press, aims to surprise and does so by foregoing a standard menu to offer diners the option of eating whatever their hearts desire. His menu (an easy-to-manage booklet) opens with a mirror, to convey the idea that the customer is his main priority. A fun, surprising and all-involving culinary experience based on the chef’s respect for only the finest, freshest ingredients, traditional flavours, innovative shapes and plating and experimentation with tastes and pairings. Less daring diners can return to tradition by choosing from among a selection of tasting courses and a small menu featuring two or three set dishes. www.contrastemilano.it. Via Meda, 2. Off Map

Milan Style Journey Every month a useful suggestion from StyleInMi™, the only service offering you a style journey into the heart of Milan conceived by Fabio Sbranchella and especially created for men in discovery of pure Milanese style. If I had to choose three landmark sights to visit in Milan, my choice would include the Duomo and its Terraces, the Castello Sforzesco and the Historic Workshops scattered throughout the city. One of my absolute favourites is Camiceria Ambrosiana located at number 1 via Soncino. Everything here has been handcrafted since 1900 and the fastidious attention to detail with which each step of the manufacturing process is imbued has been the same for generations, affording Camiceria Ambrosiana the honour of being classified as ‘one of the best shirt makers in the world’ by Gentlemen magazine. The boutique offers a wide range of customization options (superior quality fabrics from the best 58 W H E R E M I L A N I O C TO B E R 2015

companies and every type of cuff and collar imaginable) designed to cater to the requirements of even the most discerning customers. Australian mother-of-pearl buttons and felled seams add the final touch for a truly one-of-a-kind shirt. Alessandro and Maestra Franca are responsible for the cut and manufacture of the shirt, while each step of the tailoring process is executed under the supervision of Silvana right in front of your eyes. It takes one fitting and one month to have a shirt made. However, tourists who do not have the time to sit down with a style consultant can opt for the establishment’s classic ready-to-wear shirts. My recommendation? For a truly ‘cool’ summer look I, personally, would go for the establishment’s exclusive voile fabric, the perfect choice for those in search of a truly stunning white shirt.

FOR WHERE READERS Readers of ‘Where Milan’ interested in visiting this boutique with StyleInMi™ will not only be entitled to a discount on our style journey but will also receive a surprise from its owners. Just contact the StyleInMi™ staff at style@styleinmi.com making sure to mention ‘Where Milan’.

Gelateria Toldo Gelateria Toldo has now been enriched by a fabulous pastry shop, to offer you sweet treats at all times of the day. Opened in Milan in 1945, in the heart of the city’s bohemian Brera district, Gelateria Toldo has earned a wide-reaching reputation thanks to the entrepreneurial spirit of its owner Antonio Cipriano who has manned this iconic ice cream parlour for the past twenty years. A passion inherited from the Beria family who took it over in the 1970s and who still collaborate with Cipriano at the venue’s artisanal workshop. Now as then, its signature flavours include vanilla, hazelnut, chocolate and the more unusual flavours of liquorice, red Himalaya salt caramel and Sunset over the Bosphorous.

FOOD & WINE | WINE SHOPPING

Sharing emotions through wine I enjoy looking at wine through different eyes. They are the eyes of people who come to Italy from all over the world to taste our special ‘flavor’. My work is a constant discovery. During a tasting, while deciding with which wine to start, an American client of mine gave her simple solution "Let’s start from the best one", explaining that usually, at her home, she offers the best wine first so people get drunk and then they do not understand that the other ones are not as good. I thought I had to deal with questions like "What wine can I match with my favorite food?” “Where can I store my wines at home?"… Instead I was asked: "In which phase of the production is the strawberry fragrance added into the wine? " The stranger the questions, the more I understood that

consumers are different every time and that their curiosity toward the nectar of Bacchus is sincere and total. In my conversations with new clients, I often get the impression that for them wine is a wonderful alchemy, which always maintains an aura of mystery as if it were a magical potion. And this is because there is nobody who really takes time to explain to them what wine is. They say that I invented a new profession: I am a Personal Wine Shopper. What do I do? I support people in the purchases of wine, I organize wine trips and tailor-made food and wine experiences. I create events in which people can learn and share their emotions about wine. I assist

80 W H E R E M I L A N I O C TO B E R 2015

them in finding the right selections for dinners and weddings. Have I invented this? I would say that it came naturally to my mind ... This profession was born from my passion for wine and the joy of sharing it with others, from my sunny personality and from the observation that there are only two things that I can’t resist buying: books and wine. Why am I doing it? Because it’s who I am. Because I want to share with people a more lively and healthy lifestyle using Italian wine and food as emotional companions of our life so that everybody can enjoy spending time together enriching their cultural knowledge and pleasing their palates.

PAOLA PAVAN I consider myself cosmopolitan: I was born in Veneto, I moved to Tuscany to further develop my wine expertise. Now I live between Italy and New York by choice of the heart. I studied Marketing and Management for the wine sector at the University of Florence. Since then, I have been working for various wineries getting to know many different aspects of my field from hospitality to sales and communication. I founded Personal Wine Shopper in 2012 to guide wine lovers in discovery of the amazing wines of Italy, its producers and its hidden pearls, i.e. its small villages and landscapes. Get to know Italy through the voices of its protagonists, through the smell of nature, through the taste of the wine and the food.

Tasting wine is getting to know its story Wine is the perfect companion to many nice moments of our life. It can be a toast for a wedding, it can be a refreshing white for a summer picnic, it can be a nice glass of red while relaxing on the sofa. Choosing the right wines will make us live our experiences to the fullest. The basics of tasting can help in our choice. I always say that wine is lived, not learned. With this I mean that wine has to be enjoyed and not looked upon as a mysterious potion to be studied. It is just wine! Tasting is a subjective moment. It is influenced by our own experience. People have a different sense of smell, more or less refined, but usually, at the first sniff, we all perceive the strongest scents and the ones that we can associate with something. Olfactory memory is very powerful but every person has his/her own. So it can be possible that you won’t recognize the scent that your partner is smelling in the same wine! So why learn how to taste? What is the purpose? Tasting a wine has also an objective part and this can really be useful. Analyzing the wine with the senses can tell you if the wine is correct (meaning without faults) and what its characteristics are. Understanding what we are drinking can help us make decisions about the most suitable pairings with food and, why not, also to evaluate whether the price is fair or if there are discrepancies between the quality and what we are paying for.

But, most important, tasting a wine will tell us its story: where it comes from, which grapes have been used, how the weather in that vintage was, how the winemaker decided to produce it. The standard tasting has 5 steps which involve the sense of sight, smell, taste, and somehow even touch. To make them easier to remember, they are often called “the 5 S’s”.

Smell Smelling is one of the key moments of wine tasting. Flaws usually can be identified immediately: the wine will smell dull and stale. Take a sniff and try to name the scents: they can be flowers, fruits, spices and vegetables. They can even be associated with animals, leather, tobacco or stones. The list of possible fragrances is really long! The combination of the aromas is called bouquet or nose of the wine.

See Hold the glass up in front of your eyes, and tilt it slightly. The color of the wine can tell you something about its age, where it comes from, and its concentration. Wines from northern, cooler climates tend to be lighter in color (color not as intense) as wines from warmer, southern climates.

Sip Sip in order to bring out the full flavor of the wine to the palate. Be sure to move the wine around in your mouth to cover all of your taste buds. You'll be able to taste the fruit and varietal characteristics, the acidity, the tannins, and the aftertaste. A long, pleasing aftertaste, or finish, is a sign of a quality wine.

Swirl Swirling the wine in your glass aerates it, bringing oxygen into the wine and allowing it to release its aroma. Reminder: it's best not to completely fill the glass, so you'll have room to swirl the wine around.

Swallow (or spit) Professional tasters usually spit, especially if they have many wine glasses in front of them. But swallowing is the perfect conclusion to savoring the taste of the wine and having the whole experience.

DRINKING...WITHOUT GETTING DRUNK Feeling ‘woozy’ and confused after you’ve been drinking is inevitable. The alcohol contained in wine enters your bloodstream and travels throughout your body. It’s important to limit your intake and respect the alcohol-related laws adopted by each country for public safety, especially those pertaining to drinking and driving. However, by following these tips you can enjoy the tasting experience. • Keep an eye on alcohol content. Typically wines are drunk starting from those having

the lowest alcohol content. As the meal progresses, gradually move upwards, from light whites to more mature reds, ending with either a dessert or sweeter wine. Don’t mix the order because your stomach will have a hard time metabolizing the alcohol. • Drink on a full stomach • Drink water between sips. It is essential to keep well hydrated to give your body a chance to rebalance itself and to clean your palate. What’s more, when you’re dehydrated your nasal passages become congested and you

miss out on the pleasure of savouring the fragrances of the wine. • Concentrate on what you’re drinking. If you’re concentrated, you’ll find yourself sipping the wine, rather than just drinking it, thus allowing you to better appreciate what’s in your glass. Your mind remains active and thinks less about the alcohol per se, with the result that you’re likely to drink less.

CHIANTI CLASSICO A history of more than 600 years awaits you in Chianti Classico, one of the best-known wine-growing areas in Italy lying between the provinces of Florence and Siena. The first document mentioning this wine dates back to 1398 and exports to England began as early as the 1600s. Chianti Classico is the most historical part of a wider region known as Chianti, often associated with other small sub-areas such as, for example, Rufina or Pomino. Two thirds of the area is occupied by woods that open almost unexpectedly to reveal vast stretches of vineyards and olive groves. Its landscape and temperate climate are renowned for their beauty and health benefits which probably explains why

MONTALCINO Brunello is one of the best-known wines in the world, boasting a rich flavour and a powerful, sophisticated structure. It is a monovarietal Sangiovese requiring a minimum ageing process of 5 years, 2 of which should be spent in oak barrels. The labour-intensive and expensive elaboration of the wine has made Brunello di Montalcino one of Italy’s most exclusive and most expensive wines. It was invented by Ferruccio Biondi Santi in 1888 when he hit upon the idea of eliminating the cultivars of the traditional Chianti recipe, such as Canaiolo and Colorino, using only the Sangiovese variety. While Brunello has made the town of Montalcino famous, the village itself is worth a visit. Its streets with their stone pavements are truly enchanting and the village

Built in 1361, the views from its ramparts are truly spectacular. You will literally be awestruck by its vast expanse of vineyards and olive groves and, just a little further on, its famous ‘Crete Senesi’ (Sienese Clay Hills). This area is characterized by its hills which are composed of a grey-light blue clay, giving the landscape an odd moon-like appearance.

The town of Montepulciano is located at the southernmost part of Tuscany bordering on Lazio and is crossed by the Chiana river from which the famous breed of cattle, the ‘Chianina’, takes its name. if you happen to visit Montepulciano, its square will seem familiar: it’s where the Italian scenes for New Moon, the sequel to the Twilight vampire saga, were shot.

WHERE NOW | SHOPPING

Wine to drink A wine doesn't have to be expensive to be good. Italy offers a really wide "shelf" from which you can choose delicious labels within a fair price range. What do you need to have a basic but complete private cellar? › First of all, some bubbles! Sparkling wines are versatile and everybody loves them. You can keep them in your storage area and chill them in the fridge or in a bucket of ice before serving them. Some Italian labels to try: Franciacorta, Oltrepo Pavese, Trento DOC, Prosecco. › Then, a few white wines. I suggest buying and drinking them as soon as possible, don’t keep a large quantity, most of the time they are meant to be drunk young. Choose from among Gavi, Vermentino, Soave and many others besides. › Light reds are good for many meals. Barbera, Dolcetto, Valpolicella, Montepulciano are some names you could look for. Store them horizontally in a cool place. › You should buy also some reds with a good ageing potential. However, keep in mind that they require special attention otherwise you might run the risk of waiting many years before actually tasting a wonderful wine only to discover that, in the meantime, it has lost its flavour. Although these important reds often cost more than € 20, they are worth the outlay! Ask for Chianti Riserva, Brunello di Montalcino, Barolo and Amarone. One trick to check how well they age is to buy several bottles of the same kind and taste one of them every year. › Insofar as sweet wines are concerned, I suggest keeping just few bottles and drinking them when you need to treat yourself.

BEST VALUES. There are so many good wines in Italy that it is difficult to choose! The whole magazine won’t have enough space to present them all. Here some ideas to start to know a little about Italian wines, without emptying your wallet.

CAMPO ALLA SUGHERA Adeo > Bolgheri is famous for Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot wines. Adeo is a true expression of this terroir blending nuances of mature black and red fruit with sweet spices, liquorice and vanilla. € 20

Poggio Ventoso Poetico > The Tuscan Coast deserves a tour: this wonderful white, produced close to the sea, will treat you with intense notes of citrus fruits, elderberry flowers, as well as smoky and mineral tones. € 13

Torre Rosazza Ribolla Gialla DOC > Ribolla Gialla is one of the most ancient native vines of Friuli. Fresh and elegant, its clean floral scents suggest melon and a light hint of citrus. Excellent as aperitif and with starters in general. € 12,50 €

Agricole Vallone Vigna Flaminio Riserva > Negroamaro is now a very popular varietal from the South. This one comes from Brindisi, the heart of Salento, on the heel of Italy. It is blended with Montepulciano: it’s an explosion of fruity and spicy notes. € 11

Bosco del Merlo Prosecco Millesimato > Prosecco is really trendy now. It’s refreshing, easy to drink, fun! This one will always surprise you with notes of apple, pear and flowery hints. This millesimato is wonderful as aperitif. € 15

PALA Nuragus I fiori > Sardinia has good food, wild natural surroundings and breathtaking seascapes! Nuragus is one of the most ancient grape of the island. This one by Pala will enchant you with its delicately fruity perfume. € 9

PERSONAL CELLAR

Wine to collect Which is the right investment to give more value to your money? Gold? Diamonds? Art? I find it really interesting to invest in wines: in the worst case scenario, you can enjoy it with your loved ones! Your goal is to “buy low, sell high”. So, looking for luxury bottles, keep in mind which factors can affect the price. › Limited Quantity - Most of the best wines are produced by a single vineyard, from the few, most prized hectares of the estate. Only a few thousand bottles are produced for distribution all over the world. Therefore, you cannot but be really proud of being one of the owners of these rarities. › Vintages - Vintages with favorable harvest conditions (or whose wines have developed well over time) almost always attract higher prices. › Ageing potential – Old doesn’t automatically mean expensive, but the ageing capacity is taken into consideration when assessing the overall value of the wine.

TOP QUALITY. Luxury has many subjective definitions, not always linked to price. Italy produces many exceptional wines, well known all over the world. Here are my suggestions for some Iconic wines, the ones I had the luck to taste!

Tenute Luce della Vite Luce > The radiant sun on the label represents the Divine Light, the most powerful strength that gives life. Luce is an outsider from the famous area of Montalcino, a blend that mixes the Tuscan Sangiovese with the international Merlot. A wine and a story to discover.

Tua Rita Redigaffi > This 100% Merlot is a friend that I met on the Tuscan Coast and that has never left my heart; a great wine from a small family winery that remains humble and passionate about their land. A wine that speaks to the soul.

Giacomo Conterno Monfortino Riserva > Nebbiolo, the grape of this Barolo, is a mysterious and charming storyteller of the hills in Piedmont. Conterno chooses to craft his “normale” Monfortino with only best years and his Monfortino Riserva even more rarely. A wine expression of the territory.

Fratelli Lunelli Giulio Ferrari Riserva > Luxury sparkling wines usually originate from Champagne. I think this is a good example of what Italians can achieve. Available in a limited edition, it has a perfect perlage, a wonderful nose and an excellent quality/price ratio: for me, this is luxury.

Keep your wine safe! Nowadays, you no longer need to age your collection of wines underground but anywhere, right in front of your eyes, even in the middle of a room. Satisfy your inner oenophile with the luxury of this Personal Wine Suite, a cellar to all intents and purposes. Custom-built to blend seamlessly into the spaces and style of your home, it can be transformed into a real ‘living room’ where you can uncork and savour wine in the company of your guests.

This is a masterpiece combining attention to detail, the search for precious materials

and cutting-edge technology. All the domotic functions of the cellar (temperature, humidity and lights) can be monitored directly from your tablet either by means of a simple Wi-Fi connection or remotely via the Internet. Exquisite intarsia hides its touch panel controls while RFID technology, which prevents unauthorized persons from accessing the cellar, is also invisible.

Crafted, ready-foruse, at the workshops of Falegnameria Campo, for enjoyment in the comfort of your own home, all you need is an electrical outlet.

DINING Chef Matteo Torretta

Asola, a 360-degree culinary experience This exclusive restaurant dominates piazza San Babila from above, offering an indulgent tasting experience and a spectacular view over the Milanese skyline. By Stefania Vida

hef Matteo Torretta (see photo) leads the culinary team at the Asola restaurant, one of Milan’s finest dining experiences located on the top floor of The Brian&Barry Building. Light though inventive, Torretta brings several great classics of Italian and international cuisine to the table, upgraded with a contemporary twist. From the large kitchen, strategically located in the centre of the dining room, the chef interacts with guests seated around a large counter while he preps and cooks their food in front of them: a truly indulgent, 360-degree culinary experience! The kitchen has been conceived as an atelier where the chef, like a tailor, is an artisan who combines flavours and ingredients to give life to unique, exciting creations. This sartorial take on gastronomy is also apparent in the original, innovative architecture 92 W H E R E M I L A N I O C TO B E R 2015

of the restaurant, thus making Asola a one-of-akind location on the Milanese dining scene. Offering two different, well-defined types of cuisine, Asola is a restaurant with two souls: a ‘business’ soul for a quick, light lunch break or a ‘power’ meal, featuring a menu that also offers ‘light portions, and a gourmet soul boasting more sought-after offerings for dinner. A concept that expresses the restaurant’s international perception of dining, with meals served from 12-noon to 11pm. Lastly, for those in search of a more intimate atmosphere, the place to dine is the ‘San Babila’ table (for 6/8 people) featuring a breathtaking view over the eponymous piazza. >> Asola ristorante c/o The Brian&Barry Building Via Durini, 28 .

Esecutivo 227x246 mm

Nel 1987 nacque il mio secondo figlio, Claudio, e ricevetti una telefonata da mio padre: «Sono stanco, non ce la faccio più: vendiamo?». Era una di quelle telefonate che cambiano la vita. Risposi: «Se tu smetti, io torno». Era il fascino della bottega, quella maledetta bottega Spontini. Non mi soddisfaceva del tutto quando ci lavoravo, ma non riuscivo a starne lontano per troppo tempo. Subentrai ai miei genitori e tornai in Italia: avevo ventotto anni, il cinquanta per cento della bottega e due figli. Nasceva il nuovo corso di Spontini. Quello fu un passo importante, il primo vero gradino verso il passaggio da bottega a impresa. Un bottegaio, quello che ero stato sino a quel momento, lavora come un pazzo, sputando sangue ogni santo giorno, mette nel cassetto e accumula, tanto o poco che sia; un imprenditore investe nel proprio marchio. Io ero tornato dall’America con un entusiasmo da folle, avevo voglia di sperimentare, di stupire i milanesi, di fare impresa. Nella sua lungimiranza tutta toscana, mio padre aveva comprato i muri del primo Spontini, e io pensai subito ad ampliarlo. Se penso agli anni Novanta, penso a un decennio di ristrutturazioni, muri, pratiche edilizie, lotte per i permessi. Ogni volta che abbiamo ristrutturato gli interni di via Spontini, non abbiamo mai chiuso il locale: con le teglie e i piatti della nostra pizza passavamo dietro un tendone bianco che avevamo tirato su, mentre gli operai e gli imbianchini buttavano sangue per terminare tutto il più velocemente possibile... Cose che neanche ci si immagina, oggigiorno. Prima di tutto ricavammo un bar, che funzionò quasi da subito, poi mi venne un’illuminazione: «Facciamo gli hamburger». Era il 1991. Mi ispirai a Burger, Diner, Drive-In

Precotto CASUAL DINING Spontini is renowned for its quick service, its minimalist environment and its affordable Ca’ Granda Gorla prices. Eating here means sitting down and eating in the time that it takes for the Istria steaming pan of fragrant pizza to be removed Turro from the oven, picking a dessert and drinking a cup Marche of coffee. A formula that has worked for 60 years and which has become its trademark: Rovereto satisfying Zara customers as efficiently and cordially as possible. www.pizzeriaspontini.it

MUSEUMS & ATTRACTIONS

The new Alfa Romeo museum After undergoing a complete overhaul, the historic museum in Arese has re-opened to the public. Its totally revamped exhibition spaces mirror the distinctive DNA of Alfa Romeo. By Stefania Vida

he grand re-opening of the Alfa Romeo Museum in Arese, one of the latest attractions in the city, located just 2Km from Expo Milano 2015 and 8Km from the centre of Milan, kicked off in great style to mark the 105th anniversary of the automotive house and the presentation of the new Alfa Romeo Giulia. Car enthusiasts can now not only visit the revamped rooms of the museum housing real ‘pearls’ of Italy’s motoring history but also discover its numerous side attractions including test-drive tracks, event spaces, a documentation centre, an archives, a store and a coffee shop. Each floor of the museum is dedicated to a particular theme related to the history of the Alfa Romeo brand.

100 W H E R E M I L A N I O C TO B E R 2015

The first area of the exhibition space is Timeline (first floor), offering a brief overview of the evolution of the brand, with a selection of 19 of its most representative cars, arranged in chronological order in a large circle. The second part of the exhibit, on the ground floor, is entitled Beauty and features several thematic areas. The layout of the exhibit, with its dynamic, streamlined design, testifies to the expertise of the best car body builders who worked with Alfa Romeo. The third exhibition space, occupying the entire basement area and featuring a more angular, compact design, is dedicated to Speed. The most thrilling area of all, it offers Alfa Romeo enthusiasts a chance to meet the ‘stars’

of Alfa Romeo’s major victories: from ‘A legend is born’, a spectacular multimedia space showcasing the legendary vehicles that took part in epic competitions between the two wars, right up to its first Formula 1 grand prix debut, ‘Progetto 33’ and ‘Le corse nel DNA’. >> Viale Alfa Romeo (Arese).
