Hints of violet and blackberry. Smooth as hell. Didn’t knock our socks off but very good. — 9 months ago
Love it! Juicy AF. Minerally. Good with spicy shakshouka. I'd keep a bottle of this on hand all the time. — 2 years ago

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. — 3 months ago

Citrus forward with notable viscosity in a way so many skin contact wines could only dream of. — 11 days ago
