Owned by Giampaolo Motta and grown n the Conca d’Oro vineyard. Very juicy and fruity and fun while being utterly Tuscan. Racy and very good. (JR)

The 2008 La Massa is a decidedly restrained wine for this house. Dark fruit, minerals and a variety of flowers are layered into an exquisite frame of impeccable elegance and pedigree. The 2008 doesn't look to be a long-term ager, but it should drink nicely over the next few years while the fruit retains its juiciness.
