Non-simply-connected smooth proper scheme over Z?

Source

This question came up in the discussion between Kevin Buzzard and Minhyong Kim in the comments to Smooth proper scheme over Z. It's a nice one, so I took the liberty of posting it as a community wiki.

Question

Is there an example of smooth proper variety $X \to \mathop{\text{Spec}}\mathbb Z$ such that $\pi_1(X) \ne 0$?

About tags

We recently had other questions of the form "Example of ... with everywhere good reduction at $\mathbb Z$" (local-global, abelian varieties). I think it would be interesting to create a tag to group these. Thoughts?
