La Massa Giorgio Primo 2018

The 2018 Giorgio Primo represents a new level of finesse at La Massa. Powerful and dense in the glass, with tremendous structure, Giorgio Primo is a terrific example of how compelling international varieties are in Panzano’s Conca d’Oro district. Crème de cassis, spice, new leather, chocolate and sweet spice build into the textured, palate-staining finish. Drinking window: 2025-2038. Score – 97. (Antonio Galloni, vinous.com, Sept. 2021)
