($35): Antonelli’s viticultural and winemaking techniques result in a more elegant Sagrantino, often a wine with ferocious tannins.  This Sagrantino is, indeed, less extracted and slightly less muscular than many.  But not at the expense of minerality and earthiness, that really borders on an alluring tarry aspect.  Still, it’s not a wine to have before dinner.  Better to enjoy it with a roasted leg of spring lamb.
