Matarocchio 2021 Bolgheri Superiore DOC Antinori

Matarocchio 2021 Bolgheri Superiore DOC by Antinori is a prestigious Tuscan red wine, a refined expression of the Bolgheri coast. It originates in a recognized and vocated context, where the mild climate and proximity to the sea help preserve balance, freshness, and aromatic depth. It is a label designed for those seeking an important, elegant, and long-lived wine, capable of uniting intensity, precision, and tasting finesse.

Territory and wine style

The Bolgheri Superiore DOC designation represents one of the most appreciated realities of contemporary Tuscany, thanks to a territory that has established itself for quality and personality. Matarocchio is born in the Tenuta Guado al Tasso, in the area of the Bolgheri amphitheater, a unique landscape that benefits from constant breezes and excellent exposure. The style of the wine is consistent with this origin: rich yet composed, deep but not opulent, built on balance and aromatic integrity. The use of wood and prolonged aging contribute to defining an authoritative and already very refined profile.

Tasting notes

In the glass, it presents an intense and deep color. On the nose, clear and complex aromas of juniper, bay, marasca cherry, and licorice emerge, with an elegant and precise progression. On the palate, Matarocchio 2021 shows structure, tension, and an almost austere imprint, without any overripe sensation. The sip is enveloping yet orderly, supported by extraordinarily smooth and silky tannins. The persistence is long and well-defined, with a finish that invites waiting and hints at a very interesting evolution over time.
