Tenuta di Biserno - Il Pino 2022

The project began in 2001 when brothers Lodovico and Piero Antinori, together with their nephew Niccolo’ Marzichi Lenz. Tenuta di Biserno is located in the commune of Bibbona in the Alta Maremma, bordering the historic village of Bolgheri to the north. The exceptional terroir, the unique Bolgheri Conglomerate soil, the natural conditions, the wind exposure, and the microclimate combine to allow vines of exceptional quality to grow, which in turn give us wines which are unique, authentic and distinctive.

The Tenuta di Biserno estate extends to over 40 hectares and is situated at 90 metres above sea level.  The soils are very stoney, they are principally alluvial, with some calcareous clay, rich in calcium carbonate.The combination of the maritime influence of the nearby Mediterranean, and the distinct aspects of different vineyards, results in the two distinct production styles of Biserno and Il Pino di Biserno.

75% of the mass matures in both new and used French oak barriques for 12 months. The remainder matures in steel tanks.

The wine is a bright, deep ruby red colour. The broad aromatic range of the bouquet highlights notes of dark fruit that combine with spices, evoking the typical scents of the Mediterranean maquis. The pleasant, slightly toasted aroma conveyed by ageing in barriques is evident in the background. The palate is full, enveloping and fresh, with a lively structure and a pleasantly balanced tannic structure. Outstandingly persistent with great potential for evolution.

"Rich and broad, this red features plum, cherry, cedar, earth and tobacco flavors. A smooth, bright version, with a light dusting of tannins on the finish. Merlot, Cabernet Franc, Cabernet Sauvignon and Petit Verdot. Drink now through 2028." - 90 Points, Wine Spectator
