Carla 6 – Sangiovese 100% – Released in May 2014

from WS Insider – Vol. 10, No. 32 | Aug. 27, 2014

Carla 6 2011 | 92 points
$90 | 50 cases imported | Red
Hints of vanilla, caramel and Bourbon mark this well-oaked red.
Bright black cherry and plum flavors form the core, showing concentration and a grainy texture. Still compact and monolithic, yet
long. Needs time to integrate. Sangiovese. Best from 2016 through 2013 — B.S.

Carla 6 2011 – Score 94
This red shows pretty blueberries, lightly toasted oak and meat. Full body with soft and round tannins and a fruity, blueberry finish.
A new pure Sangiovese from Giampaolo Motta of La Masa. Stylish. And in a Burgundy bottle. Try this in three or four years to soften.

Carla 6, a pure Sangiovese 100%, released in May 2014. 3500 bottles produced.

The first vintage released after three years of practice and experiments!
This is the last challenge of Giampaolo together with Derenouncourt.
Carla (the name of Giampaolo’s daughter) comes from the vineyard estate number 6.
A vineyard of 1.5 hectares whose central part has been identified as the best part of the estate for Sangiovese. Harvested and vinified separately from the rest of the grapes.
