Agli Amici Rovinj
This is a deep, 317 bottle list built around Istria and the broader Croatian uplands, with local white wine the clear backbone and producers like Tomac, Korak, and the orange wine specialist Clai showing the region off seriously. Around that core it leans hard on adjacent northern Italy, especially Friuli Venezia Giulia and Miani, plus a real Champagne and white Burgundy bench, with Dom Perignon, Charles Heidsieck, and Pierre Yves Colin Morey all in play, and a surprisingly strong German white section. Reds are present but secondary at 87 listings, and there is essentially no rosé. Be aware there is no wine by the glass program at all, so everything goes out by the bottle, and native pricing starts around 65 euros. This list rewards a guest who wants to drink local Istrian and skin contact whites or trade up into grower Champagne and Burgundy, and you will want to steer table by table since there is no glass pour to fall back on.
