If you are still with car, look into Gattinara, a small wine town about 20-30 km to the northwest, and an easy drive to MXP. We stayed in the Tre Scallani(sp?)(Three Steps) and also ate there about a half a dozen times. Drove over to Spanna (about 5km) to some wine cellar. Walked in the vineyards & drank wine.

If you eat there, and are into wine, ask them to open one of their best bottles of Gattinara when they think best. Usually 5-10 hours before consuming.

Tre Scallani is about a 1* place, but clean, quiet, and very inexpensive.
