($20, Montcalm Wine Importers): Made from the Carignano del Sulcis grape, the local name for Carignan grown in the Sulcis region of southwestern Sardinia, Buio Buio is a name to remember.  For a vigorous and robust red, it has surprising finesse.  It’s a cunning combination of ripe spiced fruit and savory, almost bitter, notes. Though it has a lush texture, there’s sufficient backbone — tannins and acidity — that makes it ideal with slow-cooked meats.
