Toscana IGT Carla 6 2021 La Massa

What kind of wine it is

Carla 6 by La Massa is a Tuscan red wine made from Sangiovese grapes. Vinified in steel and aged in French oak tonneaux with a subsequent period in cement, it offers an elegant and well-balanced profile, with soft tannins, lively acidity, and a pronounced mineral imprint, designed for the table.

Where it comes from

It originates in Tuscany from a selected parcel identified as vineyard 6. The choice comes from a careful soil analysis, which identifies the area where Sangiovese best expresses its qualities, contributing to the perception of the wine's mineral component.

How it is produced

The grapes are carefully selected on two sorting tables and fermented in steel tanks, with a focus on aromatic precision and purity. The aging continues in French oak tonneaux, then the wine spends six months in cement tanks for élevage. This is followed by bottling and a year in the bottle before release on the market.

Tasting notes

On the nose, mineral notes and the typical traits of Sangiovese emerge, with highlighted ripe red fruit. On the palate, the structure is elegant and well-balanced, supported by soft tannins and lively acidity that accompany an enveloping progression, with a neat and consistent finish.

Food pairings

At the table, it pairs excellently with Tuscan cuisine, in particular grilled red meats and aged cheeses. The balance between tannin and freshness supports flavorful and succulent preparations, also enhancing a Florentine steak or a well-aged pecorino in a regional culinary context.

When to serve it

Recommended when seeking a Tuscan red from Sangiovese with balanced structure, capable of accompanying the meal seamlessly. It can be enjoyed after the aging planned by La Massa, which includes a period in the bottle before release, for a drink that is already harmonious. Its freshness makes it ideal for lunches and dinners with meats and aged cheeses.
