Vicino Lontano Sangiovese
I bumped into this wine during my stay in Puglia in the heel of Italy’s boot. It is complex while letting you taste the fruit, while its savory spicy flovors will win you heart over in a flash, especially in mid-palate where its dark fruits dance on your taste buds until it ends with a surprising white peppery finish sure to delight. It might be a little hard to find but well worth the effort. When you do, its price will come in around 22 – 25 dollars and well worth it.
