2018 | Fattoria La Massa | Carla 6

A tight and solid red with cherry and blackberry character and hints of black chocolate and wet earth. Some spices and flowers, as well. A solid and intense wine with super structure. Chalk, cedar, spice and dried flowers convey energy and vibrancy. Beautiful wine!

Reviews:

• Wine Advocate: By appearances you would not guess that this is Sangiovese. The 2016 Carla 6 exudes sheer intensity, darkness and richness. From the fruity flavors of cherry and cassis to floral and earthy notes of rosebud and damp soil, this one's got it all, plus that tertiary note of natural rubber that I love. It is beauty in a dark and deep wine.

• James Suckling: A very fine-tannined, pure sangiovese Super Tuscan red with crushed stone, blueberries,blackberries and black cherries. Real terroir-driven character to this wine with well-balanced, intense and fine tannins and a long finish.
