Fattoria La Massa
Giorgio Primo Chianti Classico Sangiovese Blend 1995
Back in 1995, Tenuta La Massa’s “Giorgio Primo” was a different wine than the version that is made today. Back then, Sangiovese was a predominate variety in the blend. So much so, it was still carrying the Chianti Classico designation. Today, I’m not so sure any Sangiovese remains, but I digress.
Popped and poured; enjoyed over the course of a couple hours. The 1995 “Giorgio Primo” pours a deep garnet with a near opaque core; medium viscosity with no staining of the tears. On the nose, the wine is vinous with notes of dessicated Morello cherry, red flowers, leather bound books, porchini, tiramisu, wood varnish, dry earth. Yes, definitely some VA. On the palate, the wine is dry with medium+ tannins and medium+ acid. Confirming the notes from the nose. The finish is long. This sees a little more barrique than I prefer but it’s undoubtedly an excellent wine. Drink now through 2030. — 2 months ago

Another solid vintage of this interesting Rose’. Light salmon/peach color. Aromas of apricot and grapefruit. Flavors of ripe pear, lemon/lime and tropical fruits with a slight green pepper note. Touch of salinity on the finish. Pleasant light effervescence tickles the tongue. Chill it prior to opening. Fun and refreshing. — 20 days ago
