The 2017 vintage of Matarocchio is a profound and sculpted wine, offering intense aromatics of black currant, lavender, balsamic herbs, and graphite. On the palate, it is full-bodied and polished, with a silken core of dark fruit wrapped in finely integrated tannins and layered with notes of tobacco, cocoa, and crushed stone. Despite the warm vintage, the wine retains remarkable freshness and precision thanks to careful vineyard selection and expert vinification. Aged for 18 months in French oak and further refined in bottle, Matarocchio 2017 is a statement of finesse, purity, and longevity—designed for both contemplation and cellaring over two decades.

The Antinori family, winemakers since 1385, stands at the pinnacle of Italian viticultural tradition, seamlessly blending innovation and heritage. Their Bolgheri estate, Tenuta Guado al Tasso, lies along the Tyrrhenian coast in the prestigious Bolgheri DOC, a region renowned for its Super Tuscan icons. Within this estate, “Matarocchio” represents the pinnacle of their single-varietal expressions—a pure Cabernet Franc sourced from a micro-parcel of extraordinary character and complexity. Produced only in exceptional vintages, it is the estate’s most limited and coveted label, capturing the coastal elegance and power of Bolgheri in its most refined form.
