Bellina Alimentari

The wine list at Bellina Alimentari is unapologetically Italian and laser-focused — 27 labels, almost all available by the glass, spanning the boot from Sicily to Friuli. It's a market-meets-enoteca situation, which means the list feels more curated grocery store than fine dining cellar, but in the best possible way. If you came here hoping for a Napa Cab or a Burgundy rouge, you're in the wrong place — and honestly, that's a compliment.

The list reads like a regional tour through lesser-known Italian grapes, with standouts like the Produttori di Manduria Verdeca 'Alice' from Puglia, the Cardedu Cannonau 'Bucce' from Sardinia, and a Sfera Verdeca Macerato that signals someone in the buying seat actually cares about what they're pouring. There's a dedicated Macerato section — a full orange wine category at a market restaurant in Atlanta is not something we see every day. The red section leans accessible with the Jasci Montepulciano and Frico Sangiovese Rosato doing the crowd-pleasing work, while the whites punch above their weight with picks like the Giovanni Rosso Arneis Roero DOC and Tombacco Pecorino. Gaps exist: no Barolo, no Brunello, nothing over $220 for the big-occasion spender, and the bottle program feels almost like an afterthought compared to the by-the-glass depth.

Twenty-six of twenty-seven labels available by the glass is a genuinely wild stat — basically the entire list is a glass program. Prices run $11–$19, which keeps this accessible without feeling like a gas station wine situation. The Lovisolo Moscato di Pavia Scarlet and the Lini Salamino Lambrusco Rosato give the pours real personality on the sparkling and rosé ends.
