Overview

The Marchesi Antinori 2022 Bolgheri Superiore Guado al Tasso (a blend of 44% Cabernet Sauvignon, 31% Cabernet Franc and 25% Merlot) is an unexpected wine. I was prepared for more overt ripeness but instead was greeted by a delightful mineral note of graphite or lead pencil that gives much needed contouring to this full-bodied Tuscan red. The wine is velvety and richly textured at its core, but it is also seamless with very pleasurable sweetness. All new oak adds hints of vanilla and spice. If you follow this wine, you'll notice that the percentage of Cabernet Franc has been increasing in tiny notches over the years. "Blending is key to achieving balance in a vintage like this," says Marchesi Antinori Managing Director Renzo Cotarella. Production this vintage is 140,000 bottles.

Silky, aromatic and wonderfully vivid, the 2022 Matarocchio (Cabernet Franc) is impressive from start to finish. Soaring Franc aromatics meld into a deep, plush core of red-toned fruit. Polished tannins shape the effortless mid-palate and finish. The 2022 continues to grow in bottle, a remarkable achievement for a wine born in a very difficult year. Cabernet Franc speaks with tremendous pedigree. The 2022 is just sublime. Sadly, production is down sharply to just 3,000 bottles, as opposed to the more typical 8,000-9,000.
