La Massa

Bright, radiant ruby red colour. On the nose offers initially noble savoury notes, cloves, pepper, as well as ripe wild berries, plus fine balsamic hints, seems very compact. On the palate extremely polished, with a punchy and elegant course, juicy, slightly salty aftertaste, shows nice feel and long finish, with drive on the finish.

An adventurous nose gives lucky penny, brick wall and then grass and soil where the wind carries notes of hibiscus, cherry and cranberry. The earthiness and astringent fruit elements continue on the palate, above a sweeter undercurrent. Both breadth and depth are evident.
