Vignamaggio, Toscana (Tuscany, Italy) Sangiovese Di Vitigliano 2016 ($84)

A heavy bottle accurately predicts a full-bodied wine, weighing in at a stated 14.5 percent alcohol. This broad and deep style of Sangiovese delivers a dark, almost tarry mineral aspect atop a dark black cherry base. At almost a decade of age, the tannins are still apparent yet not slightly intrusive. Save this beauty for rich hearty winter fare.
