($25, Montcalm Wine Imports): Though the Colli di Luni Rosso DOC straddles two regions, Liguria and Tuscany, the blend is typically Tuscan, Sangiovese (70%) with Cannaiolo and Ciliegiolo. A balanced wine, it achieves roundness and generosity without being overtly fruity of flabby. Indeed, there’s an attractive bitter note in the finish and Tuscan acidity keeps it vigorous and fresh. The tannins are refined, which makes it an excellent choice for current consumption. The price makes it very easy to pull the cork this summer.
