The 2010 La Massa is gorgeous. Freshly cut flowers, mint and juicy red berries flow from this gracious, effortless wine. The 2010 impresses for its vibrancy, focus and purity. This is a great showing for the entry-level La Massa. The 2010 is 60% Sangiovese, 30% Merlot and 10% Cabernet Sauvignon/Alicante, aged in French oak barrels, 20% new. Anticipated maturity: 2012-2020.

Dark, with blackberry, floral and spice flavors, this red is also juicy and intense. Its solid structure is well-integrated as the fruit and spice notes play out on the long finish. Sangiovese, Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon and Alicante Bouschet. Best from 2014 through 2024. 12,500 cases made. -BS

Email Greg2010 La Massa is a vibrant, focused wine,yet its supple, well knit texture is incredibly inviting. This unique expression of Sangiovese, Cabernet & Merlot from the middle of Chianti Classico shows how truly special wines from Panzano can be. French enologist Stephen Derencourt now guides the wineries growth while visionary owner Giampaolo Motta continues to produce outstanding wine. Sangiovese provides the backbone for this wine and the Cabernet & Merlot the warmth and body that flesh out the wine. Drink now with bold grilled meats or age and have with aged Pecorino cheese.
