Tosco's word

The Toscana Nascosta score for the Poggilarca is 7.4, that of the Carmignano from Tenuta di Artimino 7.3: a slim gap, but the criteria help you decide. At €18 for the classic bottle, you'd favor the Carmignano – Tenuta di Artimino for a low-cost discovery of the estate, with its versatility at the table rated 7.8; at €36, the Poggilarca in magnum is more for the knowledgeable enthusiast, drawn to its detailed winemaking (8.2) and generous format for a meal with several people. Both suffer from a lack of documented recognition, so if your budget is tight and your wish is simple, choose the second; if you're after the 85% Sangiovese blend and a grand gesture, the first.

Tosco only cites facts from this head-to-head: ratings, criteria, prices, amenities. Text calculated once, checked by the code.
