Guado Al Tasso Matarocchio IGT. Cabernet Franc from Tuscany, Italy. This wine has an intense ruby red color that shines tremendously in the glass. The nose is complex with aromas of mint that merge with notes of pepper, chocolate, roasted coffee and plums. The palette of this wine is also a complex adventure that unfolds with silky tannins. On the finish, the mint and chocolate sight come back to offer. In short, an exceptional one where Cabernet Franc fully exhibits itself.

Cabernet Franc is a fairly productive variety. It is in fact the original Cabernet grape. The much more famous Cabernet Sauvignon is a descendant of Cabernet Franc. It probably originated in Bordeaux where it is one of the classic components of Bordeaux wines. In the 17th century it was taken to the Loire Valley where it was subsequently successfully planted. Cabernet Franc prefers chalky gravel, sand and clay soils and ripens about ten days earlier than Cabernet Sauvignon. It thrives very well in cooler soils. At its best, Cabernet Franc has an unmistakable and appetizing aroma of raspberries and pebbles washed in spring water and a refreshingly sharp scent of blackcurrant leaves. This aroma tickles the taste buds. Cabernet Franc is used successfully in Bordeaux where it is a major player, especially on the soils of Saint-Émilion and Pomerol. Furthermore, it is also very successful in the Loire and more specifically in Chinon Saumur-Champigny and Bourgeuil. The grape is also used in the South of France, Italy, California, Australia, New Zealand, Chile and South Africa. It is often used to blend with Cabernet Sauvignon. Cabernet Sauvignon is the most famous grape of all. It is therefore rightly called King Cab.
