A very fine-tannined, pure sangiovese Super Tuscan red with crushed stone, blueberries,blackberries and black cherries. Real terroir-driven character to this wine with well-balanced, intense and fine tannins and a long finish.

Sparkling ruby with a slight garnet shimmer. Very intense and inviting nose, full of ripe wild raspberries and dark cherries, with slight smoky and mineral components in the background. Very dense on the palate at first, dark berry fruit, then unfortunately showing quite rough and coarse tannins towards the back of the mouth, earthy notes on the finish.

Made with 100% Sangiovese, the Fattoria La Massa 2018 Carla 6 comes from a 1.5-hectare vineyard that was planted in 1999 on schistous and clay soils. This vintage reveals a meaty side with more fruit weight and concentration. The wine feels wide and rich to the palate, and it closes with dark fruit, tobacco, crushed stone and even a hint of caper or green olive. This 5,000-bottle production is fermented in stainless steel and then moves over to tonneaux (with one-third made from new oak) for finishing.
Winespectator (94)
This red offers fruity, floral flavors signaled by aromas of ripe raspberry, cassis and violet, with earth, lavender and wild herb details. Elegant and silky, with firm tannins lurking beneath. Still could use some time to integrate.
