A commanding 16th-century cistern is the focal point at this excellent wine bar opened by two ex-journalists shunning the status quo. It purposely bypasses more famous labels for lesser-known boutique wines (from €4). These can be paired with fantastic artisanal cheeses, grilled chorizos, pata negra hams and house-made jams. Reserve ahead – especially if you want to drink inside the cistern.
