🏰 The Fattoria La Massa 2018 Carla 6, made with 100% Sangiovese from a 1.5-hectare vineyard planted in 1999, is considered the estate's best Sangiovese. This vintage reveals a meaty side with more fruit weight and concentration, feeling wide and rich on the palate. It closes with dark fruit, tobacco, crushed stone, and even a hint of caper or green olive. Reviewers note a very fine-tannined, pure Sangiovese Super Tuscan red with crushed stone, blueberries, blackberries, and black cherries, showcasing real terroir-driven character. The wine is complex and seductive, with classic tomato leaf notes complemented by minerality, earthiness, saltiness, hickory, and a hint of bacon fat. The palate is pure velvet, silty, and succulent. 【Fattoria La Massa's Carla 6 is the estate's top Sangiovese, lauded for its terroir-driven character and ability to deftly marry power with translucence.】 🍴 This sultry Toscana is a powerhouse with savory flavors of red berries and herbs. It pairs easily with flavorful Italian cuisine, ideal with grilled red meats, roasts, not overly structured braises, tagliatelle with ragù, pappardelle with wild boar, and mushroom-based preparations. Its freshness and delicate tannic structure also make it suitable for aged cured meats and medium to long-aged cheeses. 🥂 A definite cellaring wine that will be even more enjoyable 8 plus years from now. It's perfect for a dinner among friends, an important lunch, or an occasion when you want an elegant yet immediate Tuscan red.
