Wool as your baselayer, and then something over top of it.

I use a smartwool zip-neck as my longsleeve winter baselayer and a synthetic fleece lined winter weight jersey over top (Performance Tundra II). If you can afford it: wool over wool when you don't need windproof layers for the biting cold.
