Giorgio Primo Special Edition 2016 Fattoria La Massa

Professional reviews

Robert Parker (97)

The consistency and depth of this wine is just incredible. Like the Carla 6, the 2016 Giorgio Primo shows an inky dark color, almost totally black, with penetrating fruit and long waves of rich fruit flavor throughout. George the First casts mesmerizing spells of spice, tar and smoke. This is a blend of 50% Merlot, 45% Cabernet Sauvignon and 5% Petit Verdot. This is another outstanding effort from Fattoria La Massa and its eccentric but visionary founder, Giampaolo Motta. Some 16,000 bottles, magnums, double magnums and other large formats were created.

James Suckling (95)

A dense and rich red with blackcurrants, berries and chocolate, as well as undertones of fresh porcini mushrooms and wet earth, on both the nose and the palate. Full and flavorful. Chewy tannins.
