“The aromas in this are very enticing, with fresh flowers, sage, rosemary, currants, roses, blackberries, black olives, sweet tobacco, iron and graphite. Just a hint of chocolate, hazelnuts and herbs. Medium- to full-bodied with tangy acidity and very fine tannins. Layered and compact. Finishes beautifully. A new wine and project from Lodovico Antinori. 85% cabernet franc and the rest is merlot and petit verdot. Drink or hold.”
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.
