La Biografia
Miguel Ángel Millán began his professional journey far from wine glasses and bottles, training as a goldsmith. However, destiny had a different adventure in store for him, leading him to embrace the world of hospitality and ultimately sommelier. His transition to wine was guided by a growing passion and a deep commitment to the profound study of the subject.
In 2019, Millán's talent and dedication were globally recognized when he was voted by 50Best as the Beronia World’s Best Sommelier 2023. His skill in curating pairing menus perfectly complements the avant-garde culinary experience at DiverXO; here, he has expanded and diversified the restaurant's cellar, now proudly boasting over 1,500 references, including rare wines and sake, carefully selected to accompany innovative dishes.
His background in sommelier and previous experiences in Michelin-starred restaurants like Santceloni and the Japanese fusion Kabuki have shaped Millán as the ideal candidate for DiverXO, where Dabiz Muñoz's cuisine ranges globally in terms of inspiration, techniques, and flavors, often with an Asian accent.
