Subscriber price: £27.00

Tuscany, Italy

Sangiovese

This is Tuscany turned up a notch — Carpineto’s Vino Nobile Riserva is all dark cherries, dried herbs, leather and a hint of spice, wrapped in smooth, polished tannins. Aged for extra depth, it’s rich and savoury but still fresh, with that classic Sangiovese lift and a long, elegant finish.

Spot on with bistecca alla fiorentina, roast pork, or truffle pasta. It’s a wine that feels a little grand without being showy — made for proper meals, long conversations, and second helpings. A Tuscan classic with serious Sunday lunch energy.
