Fasano

This is a deep, Italy leaning list of over 1,000 bottles built around red wine, which makes up well more than half the book, with strong Tuscan representation through producers like Marchesi Antinori and Castello di Monsanto plus a serious Etna presence from Benanti. Champagne is well covered with 67 selections and houses like Bollinger, and the top of the list runs into Burgundy heavyweights such as Domaine de la Romanee Conti and Comte Georges de Vogue at nearly $12,000. Pricing is wide open, from $18 up to those grand cru trophies, with a median around $374, so there is real room to sell smart without pushing the high end. The 43 wines by the glass, including a sweet and fortified flight, give you flexibility for pairings and tasting. This list rewards a guest who loves Italy and a somm who can steer between an honest bottle and a cellar piece.
