Romano
This is a deep, Italy first cellar of more than 1,600 wines, built on Tuscany and the great names of the region. The depth shows in the producers, with Tenuta San Guido and A. Gaja each carrying nineteen listings, plus heavy verticals from Ornellaia, Le Macchiole, Tua Rita, and Montevertine, so expect to sell serious Bolgheri, Brunello, and Piemonte at the table. Reds dominate at 508 bottles, but the list is broad through the rest of Italy, with strong showings from Alto Adige, Friuli, and Campania, and it reaches into France mostly through 81 Champagnes and Côtes de Beaune Burgundy. By the glass is modest at 23 pours against the size of the bottle list, so guests who want range will mostly be ordering full bottles. Native pricing starts accessibly around 55 to 85 euros, which means there is honest value for guests who do not need a trophy. This rewards the diner who knows Italian terroir and wants a producer or vintage they cannot find elsewhere.
