A terrific red wine from an under-the-radar region and a little-known grape. Above, bunches of Nero Buono framed by the town of Cori. From €9.95, $18. Everything about this wine is catnip for the wine-curious: it’s made in Lazio, an Italian region that rarely appears on wine lists and wine-store shelves; it’s made from Nero Buono, a grape I’d never even heard of until last week; and it’s made by a co-operative that’s been keeping the vine-growing culture of its region alive since 1947.
