Enoteca Costantini

Vatican City, Borgo & Prati


If you're after a hard-to-find grappa or a special wine, this excellent enoteca is the place. Piero Costantini's superbly stocked shop is a point of reference for aficionados, with its 800-sq-metre basement cellar and a colossal collection of Italian and international wines, champagnes and more than 1000 spirits. Note the beautiful wrought-iron grapevines on the facade.
