Tasting notes
The 2018 La Massa is dark, fleshy and super-expressive. Blackberry jam, cloves, chocolate and crème de cassis all come alive in this wonderfully deep, voluptuous red blend of 50% Sangiovese, 35% Cabernet Sauvignon, 15% Merlot and Alicante Bouschet.

The 2018 La Massa is fresh, fruity and easy to like. Crushed red berry fruit and floral notes grace this soft, understated wine. I would prefer to drink the 2018 sooner rather than later given its mid-weight structure.
A blend of mostly Sangiovese with smaller parts Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon and a touch of Alicante Bouschet, the Fattoria la Massa 2018 La Massa is a textured and softly pliable wine that shows gorgeous color saturation and a panoramic bouquet with black fruit, dried cherry, plum, spice and sweet tobacco. This vintage offered moments of heat and moments of coolness, and the whole approach is balanced quite nicely in this bottle. I give it a solid 10-year drinking window, and you get great value.
A tight and harmonious red with ultra-fine natural tannins and beautiful ripe fruit. Blue berry and black cherry character. Extremely long.
