Tosco's word
The Poggilarca Carmignano DOCG (Magnum) from Artimino, at €36 a bottle, offers you the best value for money with €18.12 per liter for a blend of 85% Sangiovese and 15% Cabernet Franc, while the Carmignano Riserva DOCG, at €53, rises to €26.68 per 75 cl for longer aging of 24 months and more enveloping tannins. The Riserva, with its pairings with game and aged cheeses, is for you if you're hosting a hearty meal for several people, whereas the first, lighter and more versatile for roast poultry, suits a tight budget better. In terms of quality, their scores are nearly tied (7.4 vs. 7.3) and neither shows any distinction, but the price and the aging give you the real key to choosing.
