First Impression
The list at Panevino reads like a confident Italian-American power dinner — Gaja, Antinori, Stag's Leap, all showing up like they own the table. It's not the deepest list in Las Vegas, but it's curated with a clear point of view: California and Italy, front and center. Wine Spectator just handed them an Award of Excellence in 2025, and flipping through the list, you can see why.
Selection Deep Dive
The Italian side earns its keep — Marchesi di Barolo Barolo, Gaja Barbaresco, Antinori Tignanello, and a run of Brunello di Montalcino selections give the Old World column real credibility. California holds its own with Caymus Cab, Stag's Leap, and Rombauer Chardonnay doing the crowd-pleasing heavy lifting. France gets a seat at the table via Louis Jadot Burgundy, though it feels like an afterthought compared to the Italy-California axis. The 150-250 bottle range is solid for an upscale neighborhood Italian, but don't come here hunting obscure producers or natural wine tangents — this list plays a well-rehearsed game.
By the Glass
Twenty to thirty-five options by the glass is genuinely generous, and the breadth means you're not stuck choosing between two boring Chardonnays. Meiomi Pinot Noir and Rombauer Chardonnay are almost certainly anchoring the approachable end, which is fine — people love them for a reason. We'd like to see more rotation and a few wilder picks in that glass lineup, but for a Las Vegas Italian spot, this is above average.
Marchesi di Barolo Barolo — $80
Barolo from a respected Piedmontese producer at a reasonable entry point for Vegas — where markups are a blood sport — is the move if you're splitting a bottle over the Osso Buco.
Antinori Tignanello
Most tables will default to the Caymus, but Tignanello — a Sangiovese-Cabernet blend from one of Tuscany's greatest estates — is the bottle that actually makes the meal memorable. Order it and look like you know exactly what you're doing.
Rombauer Chardonnay
It's perfectly fine wine, but you're paying a Vegas premium on a bottle that retails everywhere for $30. There are better uses for that money on this list.
Gaja Barbaresco + Osso Buco
Gaja's Barbaresco — all Nebbiolo, all Piedmont — has the structure and tannin to stand up to braised veal shank without steamrolling it. Classic northern Italian pairing, executed with some serious firepower.
✔️ The Bottom Line
Panevino isn't trying to reinvent anything — it's a well-run Italian spot in Las Vegas with a wine list that respects the cuisine and earns its new Wine Spectator badge. Skip the tourist-trap bottles and lean into the Italian reds; that's where this list actually delivers.
