Description
The 2020 Occhione was Biserno's debut white wine and now we have the 2021. This rare white wine is produced in very small quantities. The wine comes from a special vineyard with various varieties mixed together. This wine is 90% Vermentino supplemented with 10% other white varieties. The Biserno Campo di Sasso Occhione is characterized by its lightness and delicacy and the Occhione is named after a rare water bird that nests in the dunes near Marina di Bibbona. The wine is made by the famous winemaker Helena Lindberg and Michel Rolland
In the glass, the Biserno Campo di Sasso Occhione has a light yellow clear colour. The wine has a lively nose, with hints of ripe apples and citrus
note of pink grapefruit. In the mouth it is delicate and very nicely balanced. It ends very round, with soft fruit reminiscent of Viognier, very balanced with a wonderful saltiness and minerality. Similar in style to the white Ghizzano

Wijnhuis
In 1995, Lodovico Antinori discovered the potential of an area on the outskirts of Bolgheri for viticulture. After an evaluation, he saw the unique characteristics of this area and was convinced that he could create something new and unique in the wine world. A few years later, the Antinori family (Piero, Lodovico, Ilaria and his son Niccolò) and landowner Umberto Mannoni started founding Tenuta di Biserno. Adjacent to the historic village of Bolgheri, with a beautiful view of the Tyrrhenian sea.
The Tuscan winery has 49 hectares of estate and is located in Alta Maremma in western Tuscany between the hills of Bibbona. Due to the specific soil and climate characteristics, the area is divided into two zones. The Bolgheri area has a subsoil of rock; on these 40 hectares, the vines for Biserno and Il Pino di Biserno are planted. The vines planted on the vineyards are mainly Cabernet Franc and Merlot and in smaller quantities Petit Verdot and Cabernet Sauvignon. Tenuta Campo di Sasso, on the other hand, has 56 hectares with mixed (and mainly) sandy soils. This area is close to the sea and is therefore very suitable for varieties such as Syrah and Vermentino. Occhione and Insoglio del Cinghiale come from this area.
