Ca'Lucchenzo's website links a wine list PDF organized as Spumante, Rosato, Bianchi, Rossi and Riserva, and nearly all of it is Italian by region. Piedmont and Tuscany get the most space, with separate Barbaresco, Barolo, Brunello di Montalcino and Chianti sections. This unrated guide covers the posted list, not service, storage or markups.
Beyond the Italian regions, the Spumante section also includes Champagne (Philipponnat, Henriot, Caillez Lemaire) and a Gruet Blanc de Noir from New Mexico. Trentino's Foradori has seven wines on the list, including five Teroldego bottlings (Lezer 2025 at 80, Teroldego 2023 at 99, Sgarzon 2021 at 114, Morei 2024 at 125 and Granato 2019 at 168). There are Sicilian reds (Frappato, Nerello Mascalese, Nero d'Avola), Sardinian Cannonau and Bovale, and an Umbria Montefalco Rosso. A Riserva section tops out with Dom Perignon 2015 (575) and Montevertine 2022 (595). Prices are posted as bare numbers with no unit, so confirm how each is sold.
The posted PDF does not list wines by the glass or glass prices. Ask your server what is open by the glass.
The Bottom Line
Order the 'Costa della Sesia' Nebbiolo blend at 53 if you want a Piedmont red without paying Barolo prices, or the Casale del Giglio Cesanese at 56 if you want something less expected. If you want Foradori, there are five Teroldego bottlings to choose from. Confirm prices and availability before you order.
