Tasting Note

Matarocchio 2017 is rich with an intense color. Its nose offers aromas of juniper, bay leaves, Morello cherries and licorice. Despite vintage forecasts, this wine is not overly opulent: no overripe notes, rather it delivers great elegance, clean and pure both on the nose and palate that make it, at present, almost austere. Tannins are exceptionally smooth and silky. A vintage that holds exceptional potential to evolve and express its finest characteristics even in the years to come.

Product Notes

Antinori Tenuta Guado Al Tasso Matarocchio is a luxurious and prestigious red wine produced in the Bolgheri region of Tuscany, Italy. It is made from the highly prized Cabernet Franc grape variety and aged in French oak barrels for 20 months, resulting in a full-bodied and velvety wine with intense aromas of blackberries, cherries, and vanilla. The Matarocchio vineyard where the grapes are sourced is one of the most unique vineyards owned by Antinori, with its high elevation and stony soil contributing to the wine's complexity and elegance. This exceptional wine is best enjoyed with grilled meats, hearty stews, and mature cheeses.

About the Winery

Antinori Tenuta Guado Al Tasso

The Antinori family is one of the most authentic and historical names of the Italian wine industry. This family has been making elegant and heritage-rich wines for over six centuries now. Giovanni di Piero Antinori became a member of the Florentine Winemakers’ Guild in 1385, and his family has been making beautiful wines, since then. Today, though the estate is managed by the 26th generation Antinori family member, you will be thrilled to notice that the historic winemaking practices are carried on with full respect and passion here.
