The story
Tucked into Via Maddalena in the hilltop town of Spello, Vinosofia is a wine bar that leans into natural wines and artisanal cheese plates. Creator JustUs calls the aperitivo experience here “modern and refined,” a setting that balances upscale touches with the easy intimacy of counter seating. The focus is on curated, ingredient-driven snacks rather than a full menu.
Standouts from that visit include a creamy mozzarella di bufala and a deeply savory pappa al pomodoro, both singled out as “outstanding.” Raw milk cheeses—pecorino and caprino, as well as a mixed tre lati—further underscore the kitchen’s respect for local dairy. A Sangiovese spumantizzato offers a bright, fizzy pairing. For an elegant afternoon snack in Umbria, Vinosofia delivers.

Dishes mentioned
Mozzarella Di Bufala
The buffalo mozzarella from Fattoria Montelupo is fantastic, but the extra virgin olive oil they put on top gives it ten extra points. An explosion of flavour.
Pappa al Pomodoro
The pappa al pomodoro is good, but the best part is the 'fiore', the most flavorful piece.
Formaggio Trellati Vaccino Mucca Capra Pecora
This trellati cheese, a mix of cow, goat and sheep, is something special. It gave me chills. It's like a robiola, but terrifyingly good. I wiped the plate with bread.
Formaggio Capra Pecora Latte Crudo
This raw milk goat and sheep cheese, unpasteurized, is top, very good. A monstrous flavor, I finished it immediately.
Sangiovese Spumantizzato
The glass of Sangiovese spumantizzato from Andrea Pilar is very good, fresh, easy to drink, with a nice acidity. Perfect for a summer aperitivo.
