The Matarocchio 2021 from Tenuta Guado al Tasso, owned by the Antinori family, is one of the most exceptional wines from the Bolgheri region in Tuscany. Produced only in the finest vintages, it represents the qualitative pinnacle of the estate and is among the most refined expressions of Cabernet Franc in Italy.
The vineyard is located near the Tyrrhenian coast, in a privileged environment where maritime influences soften temperatures and promote slow, even ripening of the grapes. The soils, composed of sand, silt and clay-limestone elements, contribute finesse, complexity and depth.
The 2021 vintage stands out for its remarkable balance and precision. The nose opens with intense aromas of ripe black fruits, cassis and black cherry, complemented by elegant floral notes, graphite, sweet spices and subtle balsamic nuances.
On the palate, the wine impresses with its majestic and perfectly defined structure. The tannins are extremely fine, the texture is silky, and the palate is dense yet beautifully balanced by remarkable freshness. The finish is long, straight and persistent, with outstanding purity of expression.
Presented in magnum 1.5 L, this format further enhances the wine’s ageing potential and long-term evolution.
The Matarocchio 2021 has exceptional ageing potential over several decades. It pairs ideally with fine meats, game, truffle dishes or complex gastronomic preparations.
Tenuta Guado al Tasso, owned by the Antinori family, is one of the most prestigious estates in the Bolgheri area on the Tuscan coast. It is a key reference among “Super Tuscans” and has established itself as one of the essential names in contemporary Italian winemaking.
The estate lies within the Bolgheri Amphitheatre, a unique terroir open to the Tyrrhenian Sea. This exceptional location provides a mild climate strongly influenced by maritime breezes, which temper summer heat and promote slow, even ripening of the grapes.
The soils are highly diverse, composed of sand, clay, silt and limestone zones, offering a wide range of expressions and an excellent foundation for producing complex, structured wines. This geological richness allows each grape variety to be planted in the most suitable parcel.
The vineyard is mainly planted with Bordeaux varieties, including Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Cabernet Franc and Petit Verdot, which here achieve a particularly elegant and Mediterranean expression.
The estate’s philosophy is based on precision viticulture, with meticulous attention paid to every parcel and every stage of winemaking. The goal is to produce wines that combine power, balance and finesse, while fully respecting the identity of the Bolgheri terroir.
The wines of Guado al Tasso, and especially its prestige cuvées such as Matarocchio, are renowned for their depth, elegance and remarkable ageing potential, confirming the estate’s status among the great names of Italian wine.
