Tasting notes
A new secret weapon for an estate that has increasingly embraced Cabernet Franc as an exceptionally well-suited variety to the Tuscan coast, the Marchesi Antinori 2021 Bolgheri Superiore Guado al Tasso Matarocchio opens with an elegant lifted note of curry leaf and sweet bay leaf that transitions into concentrated blackberry and blackcurrant. With a bit of air, the bouquet builds toward refined tones of graphite and pencil shaving that add contouring and precision. The finish is marked by poised intensity and polished, sweet tannins that linger with clarity. Produced only in top vintages, this 2021 marks the 10th edition of the wine since its debut in 2007. Production is limited to 4,000 bottles.

The 2021 Matarocchio, 100% Cabernet Franc, opens with captivating aromatics. A wine of total allure and seduction, the 2021 screams with varietal character. The 2021 will spend at least another year in bottle before being released. It may gain weight over that time, we will see. Today, what impresses most is the wine's energy and intense, saline-infused finish
