529.00

This Matarocchio was first made only for Antinori’s own cellars. But after a long insistence, we can get some boxes. A truly unique wine: 100% Cabernet Franc from the Guado al Tasso estate from Bolgheri. This is their family wine and they serve it during dinners on the estate. The wine is grand and has a long life ahead of it, perfect to keep in your cellar for several years before serving at your own family dinner.

The Guado al Tasso estate is located in the small but prestigious Bolgheri DOC, on the coast of upper Maremma, about one hundred kilometers southwest from Florence. This appellation has a relatively recent history, DOC Bolgheri was approved in 1995 and since then it has become an internationally recognized reference point for the Italian and international winemaking arena.

Historical Data: 

Il Matarocchio was inspired by the desire to create, at the Guado al Tasso estate, a wine that was the maximum expression both of a single grape variety and a single vineyard plot. Il Matarocchio was born precisely from one of these sites and is a wine of great elegance and depth, one which springs exclusively from its source of origin and from a remarkable vintage such as 2007.
