This $14 Italian red is a gem that invites a pairing with a pot roast or pasta

Some people enjoy expensive trophy wines. For me, the real gems are value-packed, reasonably priced wines from unheralded regions or from obscure grape varieties. This week, we have a scintillating red from the corvina grape, grown in northern Italy near Verona, as well as a rustic red from the bobal grape, redolent of cherries and wild herbs. We also have a California pinot grigio with a salmon hue from skin contact that essentially looks and tastes like a rosé, plus a bracing rosé from South Africa and an affordable, tasty white from Portugal.
