Acquolina
This is a big Italian leaning list, nearly a thousand bottles built on the country's heavyweight regions, with Piemonte, Toscana, and Trentino Alto Adige all running deep alongside a strong home base in Lazio. Reds and whites are roughly balanced, but the sparkling section is the real strength: 94 bottles spanning Champagne, Franciacorta, and a heavy Ferrari presence, so we can pour serious bubbles across the board. Producer depth skews to the marquee names, Antinori with 19 listings, Gaja with 14, and Ornellaia with 13, meaning we can go vertical or trade up easily for guests who want pedigree. Pricing starts accessible, with bottles in the 60 to 110 EUR range, so the list works for a casual table as well as a splurge. The glass program is tight at 17 pours, so steer by the bottle when guests want range, and lean on this list for anyone who wants to drink Italian or to start the night on something sparkling.
