Capolinea

Capolinea runs 175 labels with a heavy Italian lean, but the buying here is more adventurous than the number suggests. The list features small Italian producers that do not show up on other Atlanta wine lists, along with enough French and domestic options to keep non-Italian-wine drinkers engaged. The by-the-glass program rotates frequently and often features wines the buyer discovered on buying trips. This is a list curated by someone who drinks the inventory.

Inman Park location with the energy of a neighborhood wine bar that serves excellent Italian food. Handmade pasta, charcuterie, and the kind of small plates that make you order a second glass before you planned to. The vibe is casual and the wine pricing reflects a neighborhood restaurant rather than a destination spot.

Capolinea does not have the biggest Italian list in Atlanta, but it might have the most interesting one. The buying is personal and the selections reflect taste rather than market expectations. If you want to discover Italian wine you have not tried before, this 175-label list will surprise you more than lists three times its size.
