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 was 2 weeks ago, so I took the liberty of posting it as 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?
