The 2015 Marchesi Antinori Tenuta Guado al Tasso Matarocchio Bolgheri Superiore DOC Magnum (1.5L) ranks among the absolute elite of the Italian wine world. Matarocchio is Tenuta Guado al Tasso\u2019s rarest and most prestigious wine and is produced exclusively in exceptional vintages. Sourced from a small plot in Bolgheri and made almost entirely from Cabernet Franc, this wine represents the highest level of craftsmanship that Marchesi Antinori has to offer.<\/p>\n
The exceptional 2015 vintage is considered one of the best in Bolgheri in recent decades. Perfect ripening conditions produced grapes with impressive aromatic intensity, velvety tannins, and exceptional freshness. When stored properly, the magnum bottle allows for a more gradual development of the wine.<\/p>\n
The nose is intense and layered, with aromas of cassis, black currants, violets, graphite, cedarwood, cigar box, dark chocolate, Mediterranean herbs, and subtle balsamic notes. On the palate, the wine is powerful yet perfectly refined, with exceptional structure, silky-smooth tannins, and an endless mineral finish.<\/p>\n
A 1.5-liter Magnum provides ideal conditions for slow and steady aging. As a result, the wine retains its freshness longer and develops even greater complexity. Magnum bottles are also among the most sought-after sizes among collectors and investors.<\/p>\n
Serve at 17\u201318\u00b0C and decant the wine at least two to three hours in advance. Perfect with Florentine bistecca, Wagyu, lamb, game dishes, truffle-based dishes, and premium aged cheeses.<\/p>\n
Matarocchio is no ordinary Bolgheri blend: Antinori crafts this rare Cabernet Franc wine from a specific section of Tenuta Guado al Tasso. The name is linked to the vineyard itself, and the wine is not released in every vintage. This is unusual in Bolgheri, where the most famous red wines are often based on a blend of various Bordeaux grape varieties. The 2015 vintage demonstrates how a single grape variety from a carefully selected plot can tell a story all its own.<\/p>\n
