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.

La Parrina is a tiny, beautiful DOC, situated very close to the Tuscan coast, the Orbetello Nature Reserve and a special salt water lagoon. It's part of the renowned Maremma zone and only one estate exists there – also called 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 in charge today, championing biodiversity and great wines from winemaker Valeria Vittori. Muraccio is a classic Super Tuscan blend of Sangiovese, Merlot and Cabernet, barrel-matured for 10 months. Full-bodied and intense, it’s best to open early and decant.
