Planeta Cerasuolo di Vittoria 2020 (92 points, $24)
Lightly toasty on the nose, less so on the palate, with a pure beam of raspberry coulis fruit flavors layered with a minerally underpinning of smoke and graphite, plus rich notes of fig cake, wild sage, ground coffee and red licorice. A fresh, classy version, with lightly chalky tannins emerging to firm the finish. Nero d'Avola and Frappato. Drink now through 2027. 6,650 cases made, 1,415 cases imported. From Italy.—Alison Napjus
