More questions
The Matarocchio Bolgheri DOC Superiore from Tenuta Guado al Tasso, produced by Marchesi Antinori, is a red wine that shows balance and presence without force. In the glass it displays an intense colour and on the nose offers a blend of red and dark fruit aromas, light spicy notes and a hint of floral character; on the palate it reveals a structured profile, with present but well-integrated tannins and good sapidity that supports the drinking experience. The approach is complex yet measured, suitable for those seeking a carefully tended wine without excess.
It pairs easily with meat dishes, roasts and aged cheeses, but also suits preparations with mushrooms or rustic sauces; serve at a cool but not cold temperature, around 16-18 °C, to appreciate its harmony. It can be enjoyed after a short period in bottle, but shows good substance for those who prefer to wait a few years; store in a cool, stable place away from light and temperature fluctuations. Ideal for convivial occasions and for those who want to explore the typicity of the denomination.

The story
The estate’s winemaking origins are linked to the noble Della Gherardesca family (vineyards since the late 17th century). The property entered the Antinori holdings in the 1930s; the estate’s modern winemaking development took place from the late 1980s–1990s. First documented vintage of Vermentino at the estate: 1996.
Production philosophy

Terroir and vineyards
Located in the Bolgheri DOC (Upper Maremma) on a plain encircled by gentle hills known as the “Bolgheri Amphitheatre.” Climate is moderated by sea breezes; alluvial soils range from sandy-clay to silty-clay with fine gravel (Bolgheri agglomerate), influencing the character of varieties grown (Cabernet, Merlot, Vermentino, etc.).
