This gulp-worthy red hails from vineyards in Tuscany's Maremma, a mere 40 minutes from the Mediterranean Sea. Crafted primarily with a Sangiovese clone known locally as Morellino, this juicy wine is at home on the table served carafe-style with just about any food you can imagine. Estate proprietors Joe Bastianich and Mario Batali suggest pairing this succulent Tuscan red with Italo-themed family style meals — think antipasto platters, savory pizzas, hearty pastas and herb grilled meats.
