is backordered and will ship as soon as it is back in stock.
What is this wine?
Antinori’s Matarocchio 2019 is the flagship wine of the Guado al Tasso estate in Bolgheri on Tuscany’s coast. A pure Cabernet Franc sourced from a single vineyard of the same name, Matarocchio represents the pinnacle of precision and terroir expression in the Antinori portfolio. The vines grow on clay-limestone soils that produce small, concentrated berries. After careful hand-harvesting, the wine is fermented in temperature-controlled tanks and aged for 18 months in new French oak before extended bottle aging.
Why get this wine?
Matarocchio is one of Italy’s most extraordinary Cabernet Francs—profound, elegant, and rare. Produced only in top vintages, it showcases the perfect marriage of Tuscan sunshine and Bordeaux-like refinement. The 2019 vintage is exceptional: deep yet poised, with remarkable aromatic complexity and structure. A collectible masterpiece that stands alongside Italy’s greatest reds.
What does this wine taste like?
Intense and layered, with aromas of blackcurrant, graphite, violet, and tobacco. The palate is rich yet refined, showing dark fruit, cocoa, and Mediterranean herbs wrapped in ultra-fine tannins. The finish is long, savory, and impeccably balanced.
When should you drink this wine?
Best from 2026–2045. Decant 2–3 hours when young to reveal its depth. Superb with grilled meats, lamb, or truffle dishes.
