Storico Fresco

The wine list at Storico Fresco reads like it was curated by someone who actually spent time in Emilia-Romagna and didn't just order from a distributor catalog. Forty-six labels isn't a lot, but the commitment to a single Italian producer — Enio Ottaviani Winery — as the backbone of the program tells you this place has a point of view. That's rarer than it should be in Buckhead.

The list leans heavily on Enio Ottaviani, a small winery out of Rimini on the Adriatic coast, and that focus pays off — you get real range within that single producer, from the Passo Bianco white to the Clemente Primo red, plus a Riesling that most Italian-leaning lists wouldn't touch. Beyond the Ottaviani anchor, there are smart supporting players: Fontanabianca Barbaresco, a Cordero di Montezemolo Barolo, Cafaggio Chianti Classico, and Planeta's Cerasuolo di Vittoria rounding out the southern Italy slot. The 'Almost Zero Proof Wine' section is a genuine nod to a real need, not just a trend grab. Gaps exist — no Soave, no Vermentino, limited Tuscany whites — but what's here is intentional.

Thirty-three by-the-glass options on a 46-bottle list is an unusually high ratio, which means almost everything is available by the glass — a serious win if you want to explore the Ottaviani lineup without committing to a bottle. Prices run $11–$29 per glass, which is reasonable for Buckhead. The rotation appears static rather than dynamic, but the sheer breadth of the glass program softens that.
