Italy La Massa

Our committee's review

Fattoria La Massa is the jewel of Giampaolo Motta who embarked on an improbable winemaking adventure in 1992. He honed his skills at highly esteemed estates in the heart of Chianti, such as Fontodi, Villa Cafaggio, and Castello dei Rampolla. By the late 90s, La Massa had garnered international acclaim. The estate's flagship wine, named Giorgio Primo, belongs to the exclusive and historic club of the most outstanding Tuscan wines, often referred to as 'Super Tuscans,' alongside names like Sassicaia, Ornellaia, and Cepparello. In recent vintages, Fattoria la Massa wines have been bottled as IGT, allowing them to always use the finest grapes from the estate without being bound to meet the Sangiovese quota.

The "La Massa" cuvée remains an impeccable hallmark of the Chianti wine elite, a bottle of pure delight that's still reasonably priced!

Rated 93/100 by the Parker Guide, this 2018 La Massa cuvée, which we have cherished for many years, is deserving of your full attention. This vintage reveals an aromatic spectrum of macerated dark fruits, exquisite wood, carboniferous and mineral notes, presenting both intensity and freshness. The structure is cohesive and full-bodied, boasting rather approachable, fine tannins. This beautifully balanced blend, dominated by Sangiovese, is enhanced by a touch of oak that adds texture to the wine. For the Committee, it's a standout favorite, scoring a 93+/100.

A delightful bottle from one of the reigning masters of Tuscany!
