Score 17/20 · Drink 2017-2027, Jancis Robinson MW, Jun 2023

60% Sangiovese, 30% Merlot, about 10% Cabernet Sauvignon and a drop of Alicante for colour. Low-temperature fermentation. Some aged in oak and some in tank. 120,000 bottles made. Very deep blackish crimson. Quite bordeaux on the nose. Very dramatic – almost Petrus- like! Exotic and dense and very sweet. If you judge it as a Sangiovese it’s a bit OTT but if you judge it as a wine, it’s really pretty extraordinary. (JR)

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.
