The 2013 Matarocchio is perhaps the most stunning wine I have yet tasted from the prolific portfolio of Italy's most important producer: Marchesi Antinori. This pure expression of Cabernet Franc comes from the family's Bolgheri estate Tenuta Guado al Tasso. I tasted the wine after it had been in bottle for 18 months. It is set to be released in September and less than 4,000 bottles were produced. Matarocchio was not made in 2014. Cabernet Franc is quickly becoming a headline grape along the Tuscan Coast, and this beautiful creation builds a rock-solid case for that claim. The bouquet is deep and penetrating with delicious and succulent aromatic layers that peel back in slow succession. Blackberry and dark currant is followed by tar, licorice, leather and delicate mineral tones that resemble polished river stone. There is spice, pepper and sweet clove. The best part, however, is the elegance and veritable lightness shown in the mouth. The wine is indeed structured and richly concentrated, but it feels so much lighter on its feet compared to the bulkier 2011 vintage that I tasted alongside for comparison. The wine's drinking window will remain wide open for many more years.

The 2013 Matarocchio, 100% Cabernet Franc, is superb. Deep, sumptuous and enveloping in all of its dimensions, the 2013 captures all the best qualities of the Tuscan coast. Dark-fleshed fruit, smoke, mocha, plum, espresso and new French oak infuse this deep, fleshy wine. Sweet tannins give the wine added texture, but there is also a good bit of freshness that keeps the wine from being overly heavy. The 100% new French oak is impeccably balanced.

Antinori - Tenuta Guado al Tasso
Le long de la côte sauvage de la Toscane, royaume de la biodiversité, Guado al Tasso se classe parmi les producteurs vedettes de la DOC Bolgheri. Surplombant la Mer Tyrrhénienne sur quatre kilomètres, la « cantina » se trouve à Maremme, à une heure au sud de la célèbre ville de Pise. Non content de s’inscrire dans le portefeuille étoffé d’exploitations de haute volée appartenant à l’illustre famille Antinori, ce domaine lui sert aussi de lieu de villégiature estival. Sur plus de 600 hectares de terres, la propriété recouvre à la fois des vignes et des zones boisées, qui contrastent avec les plages toutes proches et mettent en valeur la faune et la flore indigènes. La « tenuta » élabore deux merveilleux vins blancs, un rosé et plusieurs rouges de première classe. Guado al Tasso s’oriente de plus en plus vers le style bordelais en rouge, ayant davantage recours aux grands contenants en bois et moins au bois neuf. Le porte-étendard du domaine, Guado al Tasso, exprime les caractéristiques puissantes de la haute Maremme, compensées par une élégance et une finesse d’ensemble. Le second vin, Il Bruciato, incarne la même philosophie d’excellence mais se montre néanmoins accessible, aux arômes discrets d’épices et à la longue finale agréable sur le fruit.
