Sospiro Wine Bar & Cucina
The wine bar founded by Fabrizio Gallina

Genuine wines, real people, great stories.
I founded Sospiro in 2022 and opened its doors in Coral Gables in 2023. The idea was simple: a neighborhood wine bar where every bottle had a face behind it, and where people came back because they felt at home.
The wine program grew to more than 700 labels, most of them from small, independent growers I had met over the years in Italy and across Europe: natural, biodynamic and sustainable producers, many of them never seen before in Miami. Next to the wines, an Italian kitchen with a Mediterranean soul, charcuterie, oysters, fresh pasta and risotto, and a garden where the evenings went on longer than planned.
From 2023 to 2026 Sospiro welcomed the Coral Gables community: first dates and anniversaries, tastings and wine flights, birthdays and even weddings. In 2024 The New York Times opened its Vows column with a wedding celebrated on our terrace.
The relationships Sospiro created, with the growers and with the people around the table, are the heart of what I do today with FILO.
The room, the wines, the table.
Evenings with the growers.
Short moments from the tastings and dinners at Sospiro: the evenings when I presented the wines myself, and the growers who came from Piedmont, Etna, the Loire Valley, Champagne and Oregon to pour them in Coral Gables.

Geoffroy & A. MargaineA grower Champagne eveningWhat they wrote about Sospiro.
“I know it’s easy to say wine is wine, but it’s not right. It’s very personal to each person and their preference.” Fabrizio Gallina, on the 600 to 700 labels on the Sospiro list.
A Miami couple chose Sospiro for an intimate wedding: vows on the terrace, an Italian dinner, jazz and dancing.
“A romantic delight”, with natural wines from small, independent growers and a cozy backyard garden.
Named among the best wine bars in Miami, with wine flights, tastings and an Italian kitchen.
Italian sophistication in the neighborhood: a place where conversations feel elevated and ideas flow naturally.
The thread continues.
