Where to Eat and Drink Well in Florence for Wine Lovers

"The Gori brothers have built Da Burde’s reputation half on old-world family recipes served proudly in a white-tablecloth vintage trattoria, and half on its wine cellar. This is one of few trattorias in the city that embrace exceptional wines; most serve simple table wines or generic labels from big names. For those wanting a deep dive into Tuscan excellence or who have a penchant for Champagne, sommelier Andrea Gori has amassed an impressive collection. Sommeliers from around the country (and the world) come to dine at Da Burde for his outstanding curation. All of Tuscany’s classified wines are represented by a healthy choice of accolade-worthy producers. Though other territories are included, take advantage of the Tuscan specialization when you’re here. It’s evident the region's most prized years are on Gori’s mind when curating vintages. If possible, ask to pick a wine from the cellar with or without sommelier guidance." - Coral Sisk
