Giorgio Primo 2020 is a statement—one of the most commanding, polished, and cellar-worthy reds coming out of Italy today. Crafted by visionary winemaker Giampaolo Motta, it’s his ultimate tribute to legacy and lineage, named for both his grandfather and first son. And it shows. This is the wine where everything—soil, altitude, barrel, and obsession—comes together.
In 2020, nature threw curveballs. Frost decimated much of the Merlot, forcing Cabernet Sauvignon into the spotlight—and what a spotlight performance it delivers. The blend (75% Cabernet Sauvignon, 15% Merlot, 10% Petit Verdot) is pulled from the most prized vineyard parcels—rich in schist and clay—then aged for 18 months in 80% new French oak. The result? A wine that rivals the world’s elite: dense, structured, and wildly expressive, yet silky and seductive from start to finish.
Born in the limestone-streaked hills of Panzano in Chianti, at one of Tuscany’s highest and most dynamic estates, Giorgio Primo is the apex of what Super Tuscan wines can be. Collectors, take note—this is your showpiece. Drinkers, prepare to be floored. This isn’t just the best wine from La Massa. It’s one of the best from Italy. Period.

- PAIRS WITH
- Pasta · Grilled Meat · Meat · Cheese
Made from 75% Cabernet Sauvignon, 15% Merlot, and 10% Petit Verdot, the 2020 Giorgio Primo is a bold, structured, and opulent Super Tuscan with serious pedigree. Aromas of cassis, blackberry, cedar, and violets leap from the glass, followed by layers of mocha, tobacco, mint, and graphite. The palate is dense and polished, with ripe black fruit wrapped in compact, fine tannins. Full-bodied and incredibly long, this powerhouse wine is built to age but already offers stunning depth and allure.
