The 2016 Bolgheri Superiore Matarocchio the estate's pure Cabernet Franc is stunning. Dark sumptuous and super-expressive the 2016 is a seamless exotic beauty. Even with all of its richness the 2016 remains finessed and nuanced to the core with exceptional balance and tons of energy. This vibrant Bolgheri Cabernet Franc will drink well for many years.
vWine Advocate: 97 Points
The 2016 Matarocchio is a wine of muscle and brawn that opens to dark thickness and deep layers of black fruit spice leather and tar. If you like big and bold this Tuscan Cabernet Franc will prove quite agile when pairing with coal-fired barbecued T-bone steak. This wine was produced in 2017 but it was not made in 2018 because the variety had a hard time reaching optimal ripeness. This full-bodied wine is absolutely linear and direct in terms of aromas; however it shows fleshy succulence in terms of mouthfeel. It closes with midnight black notes of dried berry and exotic spice.
