A new wine bar has opened in Christchurch 'bringing a drop of Italian hospitality' to the town.

New bar Baccello will inspire the feeling of rolling countryside and warm evenings with their new venue.

The wine and cicchetti bar aims to bring a drop of the Mediterranean to the UK.

Offering a list of more than 70 wines, Baccello aims to make sampling different grape varieties easy and engaging, whilst learning about the country’s rich history.

Although wine is the star of the show, no Italian would drink on an empty stomach, so there is a menu of savoury cicchetti dishes and sharing platters on offer, made using the freshest ingredients available. 

Bournemouth Echo:

Yuanyi Li, founder and a Dorset resident for more than 20 years, would love this new addition to Christchurch’s high street to become a place where people gravitate after a long day to share timeless moments with friends and family — invoking the essence of a traditional Venetian ‘bàcari’.

"I want it to be a fun experience to try new things here", said Li about his new venue.

"Being presented with a list of hundreds of wines can be overwhelming, so we’ve done the work to narrow down an excellent selection of the best bottles Italy has to offer".

The bar can be found between Coast Coffee and the Going for Bust charity shop on Christchurch’s high street.
