Subtle at first and then increasingly magnetic, Tenuta Guado al Tasso’s 2013 Matarocchio layers pure dark cassis and plum with graphite, cocoa, coffee bean and a touch of warm spice, all wrapped in beautifully polished tannins. The Cabernet Franc feels powerful yet weightless, with remarkable clarity and freshness that give this highly acclaimed vintage both intensity and finesse on a very long, precise finish.
Bistecca alla Fiorentina; Slow-braised beef short ribs; Roast lamb with rosemary and garlic

Matarocchio is Tenuta Guado al Tasso’s rare, single‑vineyard Bolgheri Superiore made from 100% Cabernet Franc in only exceptional vintages; it’s crafted to showcase a pure expression of the estate’s coastal terroir with stony, alluvial soils. The wine is typically mid‑to‑full bodied with vivid herbal/menthol notes, dark berry and spice layers (think cassis, licorice and dark chocolate) and polished, silky tannins that favor long aging and precision rather than overt ripeness.
