Fattoria La Massa — Tuscan Elegance in the Heart of Maremma
Located in southwestern Tuscany, in the heart of Maremma, Fattoria La Massa is a flagship estate that blends viticultural tradition with modernity. Founded in the 1970s, the property now covers over 100 hectares of vineyards on a unique terroir composed of varied soils ranging from clay to rolled pebbles, which adds great complexity to the wines.
Philosophy and Production
Fattoria La Massa practices sustainable viticulture with limited interventions, favoring quality over quantity. Manual harvesting ensures rigorous grape selection.
Winemaking combines traditional know-how with modern techniques. Fermentation takes place in temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks, while aging is done in French and American oak barrels depending on the desired style.
Wine Style
La Massa’s wines are known for their natural elegance, freshness, and balance. They combine power and finesse, with a fine mineral tension and silky tannins.
The Rosso di Toscana, fresh and fruity, captures the youthful vibrancy of Tuscan wines, while the Chianti Classico Riserva offers a more structured profile with aromas of black cherry, licorice, and undergrowth.
The estate’s flagship, La Massa, is a complex and deep red wine, a classic Tuscan blend of Sangiovese, Cabernet Sauvignon, and Merlot. It expresses rich aromas of ripe black fruits, spices, tobacco, and leather, supported by a long finish and remarkable aging potential.
