Tenuta di Biserno, ‘Biserno’ 2007

Critics:

“Mid-bright ruby. Ethereal nose, quite floral, with herbal tarragon-like notes and smoky perfume at the back. Palate lovely and fresh and smooth. Carries the alcohol well, though a little warm on the palate. Fleshy, but the tannins noticeable on the finish. Very mineral and savoury. Good, long finish, intensely mineral. Very good indeed.’ 2014-20+” -18.5 Points, Decanter

Producer:

Marchese Lodovico Antinori discovered the property of Tenuta di Biserno near Bibbona, in the Alta Maremma area of Tuscany, in 1994, while looking for additional land to expand his Tenuta dell’Ornellaia vineyard. Given its proximity to Bolgheri, it is not surprising he was at first struck by the similarity in terroir. What he found in Bibbona, however, had so much potential, he was inspired to develop a quite different plan. With more hills and stones than nearby Bolgheri, this land appeared to be ideally suited to produce a new and different wine. In 2001 Lodovico and his brother, Piero, established Tenuta di Biserno as an elite wine estate.
