Guado al Tasso Matarocchio 2022

All Cabernet Franc, the 2022 Matarocchio pours a bright, saturated red with magenta highlights and is initially reserved before opening to reveal notes of cassis, blueberry, preserved flowers, polished leather, tobacco, sweet herbs, and vanilla. Full-bodied and richly textured, it combines a lush, coating mouthfeel with underlying freshness and structure. The palate is layered and decadent, yet balanced by a surprising lift of acidity and a long finish. It offers tremendous finesse within its decadent frame. Drink 2027-2050.
