Description

The " Matarocchio " was born from the desire to create a wine in Guado al Tasso that was the maximum expression of a single variety and a single parcel of vineyard, in fact it is obtained from Cabernet Franc grapes vinified in purity . This wine has great aging potential , dense and voluptuous, surprising in its organoleptic complexity.

It contains an articulated olfactory bouquet , with mentholated notes, hints of cocoa, ripe plum, tobacco and toasted coffee. In the mouth it is energetic and enveloping , vibrant but at the same time silky in the tannic texture , long persistence and balsamic on the finish.

Why you should drink it

Vinification and Aging
