La Cave Priveé is a true “temple of wine” dedicated to Bacchus (the Roman god of wine) that awaits all wine lovers. An elegant room where you can indulge in wine tastings but that can also be transformed into a private area for special occasions or business meetings.

There are 900 wine labels kept in this intimate custom-made vault. A beautiful crystal table stands out in the middle, which welcomes the great Burgundians, the Baroli, the Barbareschi, the historic Marsala, but also those lesser known wines. With Head Sommelier Fabrizio Colaianni guiding the way, you’ll discover and taste some real goodies.
