The wine list at da Michele reads like a love letter to Campania — and we mean that as a genuine compliment, not faint praise. You're not going to find your Napa Cab or your grocery-store Pinot Grigio here, and that's the whole point. This is a list with a point of view, built around the volcanic soils and indigenous grapes of Southern Italy.
The list runs 50 to 100 bottles deep and stays almost entirely within Campania, with some Sicilian and broader Southern Italian representation rounding things out. You've got Mastroberardino Taurasi anchoring the reds — one of the most serious Aglianico-based wines in all of Italy — alongside Cantina del Taburno Aglianico for when you want that same volcanic intensity at a lower stakes entry point. On the white side, Feudi di San Gregorio's Falanghina and Marisa Cuomo's Furore Bianco from the Amalfi Coast cliffs are genuinely excellent picks that you won't find on most pizza lists in this city. Villa Matilde Falerno del Massico is a nice wildcard throwback — ancient Roman grape territory. The regional focus is tight, which means there are real gaps if you want anything French or Californian, but that's the trade-off for a list this intentional.
Eight by-the-glass options keeps things manageable without feeling stingy. We don't have the full glass pour breakdown, but given the bottle list's Southern Italian focus, expect the pours to reflect the same Campanian slant. Eight is a respectable number for a pizza-forward spot at this price point — just don't show up expecting a rotating natural wine program.
Cantina del Taburno Aglianico — $
Aglianico from Taburno is the workingman's answer to Taurasi — same volcanic energy, same grippy tannins, fraction of the price. It's the bottle that makes the most sense next to a margherita or a truffle pizza, and it punches well above whatever they're charging for it.
Marisa Cuomo Furore Bianco
Most tables at da Michele are going to reach for a red, which means this white from the terraced Amalfi Coast cliffs gets overlooked. It shouldn't. Cuomo's Furore Bianco is a blend of Falanghina and Biancolella grown on near-vertical slopes above the sea — it's mineral, saline, and unlike almost anything else on the list. Order it and feel smug about it.
CP Sangiovese Toscana 2019
A $30 bottle with a $12 retail price is a 150% markup, and Sangiovese from Tuscany has no business being on this list in the first place. It's the one bottle that feels like it wandered in from a different restaurant's order sheet. With Campanian reds this good available, there's no reason to settle for a generic Toscana IGT at inflated pricing.
Feudi di San Gregorio Falanghina + Margherita pizza
Falanghina's bright acidity and citrus-driven freshness cut straight through the richness of fior di latte without bullying the tomato sauce. It's the kind of pairing that makes you realize Southern Italians have had this figured out for centuries — the wine and the pizza come from the same volcanic ground, and it shows.
🎲 The Bottom Line
Da Michele's wine list is narrow by design and better for it — a focused, fairly priced tour through Southern Italy that most pizza spots in LA wouldn't dare attempt. If you're even mildly curious about Campanian wine, this is one of the better excuses in the city to start learning.
