La Sala dei Grappoli
This is a Brunello di Montalcino list first and foremost, with 43 of the 127 wines from the appellation and a heavy reliance on Banfi, which alone accounts for 110 listings, so expect to be pouring a lot of the home estate. Around that core sits broader Tuscany, a couple of Bolgheri reds, and a real Champagne section of 15 wines covering Joseph Perrier, Philipponnat, Laurent Perrier, Bollinger, and a single Dom Perignon. Reds dominate at 68 bottles, sparkling is the next deepest category at 23, and whites and rose are thin, so steer white drinkers carefully. Bottle pricing sits in a comfortable middle, with examples around 105 to 114 euros, and the 23 by the glass pours give you good flexibility at the table. This list rewards the guest who came for Sangiovese and Banfi, and anyone wanting bubbles before dinner.
