94 Robert Parker
The 2013 Il Pino di Biserno is a gorgeous wine with a force of energy and liveliness that is uncommon to see in a wine of this extract and sophistication. Dark fruit tones of blackberry, plum and dried cherry are immediately followed by spice, leather and tobacco. The effect is soothing, intense and compelling. This is a beautiful wine from a classic vintage, but the tannins are definitely on the young side. It needs a minimum of three to five more years of cellar aging in order to show the splendor that this wine holds within. <br/>

Aromatic, boasting cherry, wild thyme, rosemary, sage, licorice and spice notes. This is backed by a firm spine, but the fruit is sweet and the aftertaste long. Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon, Petit Verdot and Cabernet Franc. Best from 2018 through 2029. 5,500 cases made.
Producer
Tenuta di Biserno
Lodovico Antinori is the brilliant force behind these two estates, Tenuta di Biserno and Campo di Sasso. The wines coming from these properties have been built on Lodovico’s ability to foresee a terroir’s true potential. Focus and determination has led to the production of his unrivaled wines. Amongst the sloping hills of Bibbona, Tenuta di Biserno lies in Alta Maremma, bordering the historic village of Bolgheri. The nearly 50-hectare estate was discovered in 1995 when Lodovico was searching to expand the already notable Ornellaia property. Due to its distinctive terroir, much hillier and stonier than Ornellaia, Lodovico declared this plot be used for its very own project. Joining forces with brother, Marchese Piero Antinori and landowner Umberto Mannoni – the Biserno estate came to life. Their flagship, eponymously labeled Biserno is a thoughtful blend of Cabernet Franc with Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon and Petit Verdot. While the property also produces a second wine, Il Pino di Biserno and a super cuvée named after Lodovico himself, which is made from an individual plot of vines ensuring its unique character and personality.
