Sangiovese / 12% ABV / Abruzzo, Italy 

Italy's Fantini Wines is based in Abruzzo's Terre di Chieti foothills, where sangiovese thrives. Modern in style, this velvety wine has floral aromas of toast, licorice, dark fruit and juniper. Its flavours smack of ripe dark fruit, spice and smoke. Pour a glass with your favourite pasta dish or with braised short ribs.
