Milan: An exclusive dinner at Savini to celebrate the gallery’s 160th anniversary, featuring wines from Cantine Vitea and Antonio Faravelli

Elegant Milan—the city of great traditions, historic venues, and exclusive events—is getting ready for a special evening. On Tuesday, November 17, 2026, at 7:30 p.m., the prestigious Savini Milano 1867 restaurant, located at Via Ugo Foscolo 5, will host the “160 Years in the Galleria” dinner, organized in collaboration with Antiche Botteghe di Galleria & Friends as part of the 1867–2027 celebrations. An event that will blend history, conviviality, and tradition, made even more intriguing by the presence of wines from Cantine Vitea, a historic winery in Montù Beccaria, in the heart of the Oltrepò Pavese region. Representing the winery will be owner Antonio Faravelli, an entrepreneur and avid golfer who has recently been gaining an increasingly prominent role at social events and gatherings dedicated to Italian excellence. His presence does not go unnoticed, especially because Faravelli brings to these events not only his company’s products but also a family history spanning over a century, rooted in a passion for viticulture, tradition, and the promotion of the local territory.

The selection of Cantine Vitea as the event’s technical sponsor represents further recognition for a company that has distinguished itself on the national and international wine scene. The wines from this Oltrepò Pavese-based winery will help enhance a dinner designed to celebrate one of Milan’s most iconic landmarks, offering guests the opportunity to appreciate wines whose roots lie deep in the history of the Oltrepò Pavese region. Among Cantine Vitea’s most representative labels are the Metodo Classico Pinot Nero Pas Dosé, the Pinot Grigio Trame’s, and the Bonarda Gallesio—multi-award-winning wines recognized by Italy’s Finest Wines as among the finest in Italian winemaking. Over the years, these wines have earned significant accolades, including certifications from the Italian Touring Club’s “Vini Buoni d’Italia,” gold medals won in Asia, and international awards from Decanter. Faravelli continues to enthusiastically promote this legacy of quality, bringing the names of Montù Beccaria and Oltrepò Pavese to even the most prestigious settings.

For Antonio Faravelli, high-profile events are becoming an increasingly familiar setting. The winemaker, who combines his entrepreneurial activities with a great passion for golf, has gradually expanded his presence at sporting events, exclusive gatherings, charitable initiatives, and events dedicated to “Made in Italy.” This journey has seen him move with increasing ease among golf clubs, high-profile events, and social gatherings, always with the goal of raising awareness of his wines and promoting the region’s finest products. Another hallmark of this endeavor is the “Golf and Wine 1895” project, which Faravelli spearheads and which aims to create new synergies between the world of golf, wine culture, tourism, and the finest Italian products. It is no coincidence that the Golf and Wine brand appears among the technical sponsors of the Milan dinner alongside Cantine Vitea, confirming an increasingly close bond between the two initiatives and these prestigious events.

The setting chosen for the evening adds further charm to the event. Il Savini, with its history and prime location in the heart of the Galleria Vittorio Emanuele II, is one of the most renowned venues in Milan’s gastronomic and social scene. Here, amid a refined atmosphere and echoes of Milan’s past, guests will enjoy an exclusive dinner celebrating the Galleria’s historical and commercial heritage. The event, for which reservations are required by Monday, November 9, is part of the 160th-anniversary celebration program and will feature wines from the Oltrepò Pavese region accompanying an evening dedicated to beauty, history, and conviviality. For Cantine Vitea, this is a particularly significant showcase, capable of connecting a winemaking tradition deeply rooted in the Pavia region with one of the most iconic symbols of Milanese elegance.

Participation in the Savini dinner thus confirms the path of growth and visibility undertaken by Antonio Faravelli, who is increasingly at ease in circles where entrepreneurship, sports, culture, and culinary excellence converge. His goal remains to turn every event into an opportunity to showcase the quality of Cantine Vitea’s wines and promote the image of the Oltrepò Pavese region. And what better setting than the Galleria in Milan to reinforce this message? On an evening celebrating 160 years of history, wine will also play an important role, helping to create that fusion of tradition and prestige that is one of the hallmarks of “Made in Italy.” For Antonio Faravelli, this will be yet another opportunity to demonstrate that the great wines of the Oltrepò Pavese region can also find a place at the tables of Milan’s most exclusive events, bringing with them the charm and identity of a region that deserves to be celebrated.
