Tosco's word
The score is identical, 7.3, but the real difference comes down to your wallet and your taste. The Carmignano DOCG at €18 is the smart choice for a simple table of red meats or cheeses, with 12 to 18 months of aging that remains accessible. For €32, the Riserva Grumarello appeals to those who want the more accomplished version, with its 24 months in wood and 6 months in bottle, and a more precise blend of 80% Sangiovese. If you're looking for an everyday wine, take the first; if it's for a special occasion or a curious enthusiast, the Riserva justifies its higher price.
