Vinous (Antonio Galloni) (VN) : 97 Points (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. (AG) (9/2021)

Robert Parker (RP) : 96 Points (2018)

The Fattoria La Massa 2018 Giorgio Primo is a wine of richness, volume and texture. The blend is 55% Cabernet Sauvignon, 40% Merlot and 5% Petit Verdot, and maceration times last 26 to 28 days to add the lovely depth and creaminess you taste here. Black fruit, crushed stone, truffle essence and toasted spice emerge from the bouquet. The wine's full-bodied structure and its freshness promise a long cellar-aging future.

James Suckling (JS) : 95 Points (2018)

Gorgeous aromas of blackcurrants and blackberries with hints of crushed stones and walnuts. Full body, firm and chewy tannins with blackberries and hints of chocolate and spice. Flavorful and intense at the end. Better after 2023, but better already very pretty.

Wine Spectator (WS) : 92 Points (2015)

Restrained, revealing black currant, cedar, tobacco, leather and spice flavors, this red combines power and elegance. The tannins are still a bit stiff, but this shows intensity and length. Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and Petit Verdot. Best from 2021 through 2033.
