Understanding Antinori (Guado al Tasso), Matarocchio, IGT, Tuscany
Within the Guado al Tasso estate, the Matarocchio vineyard covers 10 hectares of land. The vineyard benefits from the unique microclimate of the region, with the cooling sea breezes assisting in the slow ripening of the grapes. Following fermentation in stainless steel tanks, the wine is aged for 18 months in French oak barrels, further enhancing its complexity. The result is an expressive, intense, and beautifully structured wine that reflects the terroir's unique characteristics.
