La Parrina is a magical part of the Tuscan coast – a peninsula with just one estate, producing this gorgeous, rich red. It's a rich blend of mostly Sangiovese, with a little Merlot and Cabernet, barrique aged, so with more than a touch of Bordeaux.

More information
La Parrina is a tiny, very beautiful DOC, situated on a spit of land that juts out from the Tuscan coast to form the Orbetello peninsula. It's part of the renowned Maremma zone and only one estate exists there – La Parrina. It boasts 200 hectares of land, only 60 of which are planted to vines – mostly Sangiovese, with pockets of interlopers Cabernet and Merlot. Originally a wedding gift to a Florentine banker, it's been in the Spinola family since 1830. Dr Franca Spinola is at the helm today, championing biodiversity and great wines from her winemaker, Valeria Vittori. Muraccio is a classic Super Tuscan blend of Sangiovese, Merlot and Cabernet, barrique-matured for 10 months. Full-bodied and powerful, it'll age well. Open early and decant.
