Wine Bars
A Monti wine studio on Via in Selci that has run English-language tastings since 2008, pouring low-intervention bottles from small Italian producers. Sommeliers guide two-hour sessions, and Thursday informal tastings open the cellar by the glass.
Order a Frascati or a Cesanese in central Rome. They are local and underrated. Order a serious Etna Rosso or a Barolo at a more ambitious wine bar.
