Description
 
Fattoria La Massa is situated in the hills of Panzano, in the prestigious ‘Conca d’Oro’ (Golden Basin) of the Chianti Classico DOCG zone. The property covers 45 hectares and has been producing wine since the fifteenth century. La Massa was purchased by its current owner, Giampaolo Motta in 1992. Giampaolo, originally from Naples, left his family’s leather business and came to the area in 1989 to follow his dream of making a high quality wine. He trained at various well-known estates in the Chianti Classico area (Riecine, Zonin and Castello dei Rampolla), seeking the right place to make his dream come true. He has also spent time in Bordeaux, under the tutelage of well-known wine consultant Stéphane Derenouncour, which is where many of his winemaking ideas and techniques come from. In 2008, he started collaborating with Stéphane at La Massa.

Giampaolo Motta’s 2012 La Massa wraps clean around the palate, imparting sassy tones of Mexican spice, tobacco and dark berry fruit. The blend is 60% Sangiovese with Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and Alicante. The wine shows luscious dark concentration with equal billing to both the dark fruity component of the wine and its spicy, oak-driven spice. There’s a firmness to the tannins that should soften with time. I love that the bottle still shows a roasting chicken on the back label to poke fun at the Gallo Nero Chianti Classico logo.Wine Advocate 93
