97 Robert Parker
A blend of Cabernet Franc, Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon and a small part Petit Verdot from Bibbona on the Tuscan Coast, the Tenuta di Biserno 2021 Biserno is heavy on the Cabernet side of the spectrum, with rosemary and lavender that give the wine a very Mediterranean personality. Beyond that, there is black fruit, spice and campfire ash. This is a thick and richly concentrated wine with a lovely sense of balance and power. It finishes long and rich. There is a hint of spicy black pepper on the close.
97 James Suckling
The fresh herbs such as basil and thyme are attractive coupled with currants and blackberries on the nose. Full-bodied with lots of fruit and velvety tannins showing an opulence and Super Tuscan intensity. It needs three to five years to come together. Try after 2027.
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.
