Tosco's word
The score speaks almost for itself: the Poggilarca Carmignano DOCG (Magnum) reaches 7.4 with a value-for-money rating of 7.4, while the Riserva Grumarello tops out at 7.3. For a festive table, the Artimino magnum stands out, with its 85% Sangiovese and 15% Cabernet Franc, 12 months of oak aging and a price brought down to €18.12 per 75 cl, not to mention its versatility highlighted for roast poultry. The Riserva, at €32, will appeal to lovers of roasted red meats, game and aged cheeses thanks to its 24 months in oak and serving temperature of 16-18 °C, but its Cabernet Sauvignon grape makes it more classic. Their differences are slim, each excellent on typicity and the absence of distinctions, so choose according to format and pairing.
