The signature experience at Rimessa Roscioli. The staff select four wines organized by a concept—maybe single producer vertical, regional comparison, or experimental natural wines. Each wine is 2 ounces, tasted in the right glasses, with tasting notes explained. This is education and discovery.
Tips from diners
Ask the sommelier to recommend a tasting theme based on your knowledge level. They tailor each flight.
Soft, airy focaccia made fresh in-house, brushed with extra-virgin olive oil and sprinkled with finishing salt. This serves as palate cleanser between wines and as a vehicle for cheese and cured fish pairings.
Tips from diners
Order this with any wine tasting flight. It cleanses your palate between sips.
A simple pairing: Mediterranean salt-preserved fish arranged on a board with thick slices of toasted bread. The bread provides texture; the fish provides salt, umami, and intensity. This course works well with acidic white wines.
Tips from diners
Ask the sommelier which wine from the tasting flight pairs best with the cured fish.
When melon is in season, this simple pairing appears. The sweetness and juiciness of ripe melon balance the salt and umami of aged prosciutto. This is classic Italian flavor architecture.
Tips from diners
This appears only June-August when melons are ripe. In other seasons, ask what similar pairing is available.
A carefully selected cheese board featuring 2-3 excellent aged cheeses from different regions and milk types. Paired with aged honey that adds floral sweetness and cuts the salt. This is a course for understanding regional Italian cheese.
Tips from diners
The sommelier explains each cheese's origin, aging, and pairing. This is a learning experience, not just food.
Rimessa Roscioli is the tasting room and wine bar for the Roscioli wine project. Located near the main Roscioli restaurant, it's a smaller, more wine-focused venue where the staff conduct serious tastings and pair wines with small plates. The selection rotates based on what's being featured—single producers, regional deep dives, or experimental natural wines. It's a destination for wine professionals and serious collectors.
Reserve a wine tasting slot ahead. They handle one group at a time, so timing matters.
Come here to expand your wine knowledge. The staff are educators, not just servers.
Closed Sundays. This is a serious wine bar in the tourist-heavy Campo de' Fiori area.
