2017 Tenuta di Biserno Biserno

One family: Antinori, one passion: Wine. Brothers Piero and Lodovico Antinori own the magnificent Tenuta di Biserna in Tocane. According to Parker, "Tenuta di Biserno remains one of the best-kept secrets in Bolgheri." The Biserno is named after the winery because the wine reflects the terroir and microclimate of the winery's surroundings. A beautiful way to name your wine. Only the finest grapes are selected for the blend, resulting in a wine of depth, intensity, complexity, longevity, and elegance.

The flagship Tenuta di Biserno Biserno is a rich, beautiful, and sultry wine. Deep ruby red in the glass, this 2020 vintage exudes so much life and intensity, packed with black fruit, spice, tar, and sweet tobacco. The aromas are presented with seamless transitions, and the finish is exceptionally long. This wine displays maturity yet also offers elegance, making the difference between good and excellent. This wine will improve even further with time in the cellar and has excellent aging potential for 15+ years.
