Rich, concentrated Bordeaux-style red with the unmistakable signature of top oenological consultant Stéphane Derenoncourt. Multi-layered black fruit on the nose, plus rock, liquorice, camphor and graphite. Impressively supple on the palate, the fruit is always juicy and centred, wonderful and almost perfect in structure, polish, elegance and length. SUPERIORE.DE

"Sweet cherry top note with a beautiful, fruity presence on the nose. In the mouth, it revels in sweetness and silky fullness. Very powerful, linear and rounded in the tannins, with a beautiful, fleshy core." Weinwisser

"Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and Petit Verdot in harmony and with an intriguing cherry-bitter chocolate bouquet, also spicy notes; the attack is powerful, the tightly woven tannins and acidity in balance, elegant finish with lots of fruit and always with a noble character." Vinum

"Sparkling, rich ruby colour with a fine violet sheen. Compact nose with notes of dark currants, black cherry, lots of blackberry, some cardamom. Lots of supple, dense tannins on the palate, embedded in sweet enamel, with rich cassis notes and light bitter notes on the final." Falstaff

"On the nose, it shows intensity and richness with aromas of cassis, crushed blackberries and hints of cedar, tobacco, violets and graphite. On the palate, it is structured and concentrated, with a medium to full body. It shows depth and a broad structure with firm, compact tannins that extend over the entire length of the wine. Very long. It is already very attractive in terms of its fruit profile, but the quality of its tannins and structure suggest a long ageing potential. Best from 2027 onwards." James Suckling

"The Tenuta La Massa 2020 Giorgio Primo has a dark, saturated appearance with rich flavours of black fruits, spices and smoked tobacco. The wine is structured and quite opulent, especially in this warm vintage. It is also more approachable, even at this young age." Wine Advocate

"The Giorgio Primo 2020 is fabulous. This is a rare vintage in which Cabernet Sauvignon takes the lead, and in a big way. The frost destroyed 70% of the Merlot and most of the Sangiovese. In response to these dramatic events, Giampaolo Motta and his team have produced an absolutely brilliant wine. Blackberries, lavender, mint, dried herbs, mocha and a hint of French oak unfold in the glass. This exotic, full-bodied red wine from Panzano is simply stunning. The blend consists of 75% Cabernet Sauvignon, 15% Merlot and 10% Petit Verdot." Vinous
