Description
One family: Antinori, one passion: Wine. Brothers Piero and Lodovico Antinori are the owners of the beautiful Tenuta di Biserna from 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 environment. A nice way to determine the name of your wine. Only the best grapes are selected for the blend, resulting in a wine of depth, intensity, complexity, durability and elegance.
The flagship Tenuta di Biserno Biserno is a rich, beautiful and sultry wine. The Biserno is deep ruby red in the glass and there is so much life and intensity in this 2020 vintage that is packed with black fruits, spices, tar and sweet tobacco. The aromas are presented with seamless transitions and the aftertaste is exceptionally long. This wine shows ripeness, but also offers elegance, and that makes the difference between good and top. This wine will improve further with some time in the cellar and certainly has a cellaring potential of 20 years plus.

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.
