One family: Antinori, one passion: Wine. Brothers Piero and Lodovico Antinori are the owners of the beautiful Tenuta di Biserna in Tocane. According to Parker: "Tenuta di Biserno remains one of the best kept secrets in Bolgheri" The Insoglio del Cinghiale is a beautiful blend of Syrah 32%, Cabernet Franc 30%, Merlot 32%, and Petit Verdot 6%. The vines are planted on a subsoil of mainly clay. The harvest is completely hand-picked in September and undergoes a strict selection in the vineyards, after which it is put in baskets of 15 kg. Further selection on the sorting tables in the cellars. During the production process, 40% of the wine is matured in barriques for a period of 6 months. The remaining wine is matured in stainless steel tanks. The wines from the barriques and steel tanks were then combined and bottled to mature for another 6 months in the estate's cellars.
The Insoglio del Cinghiale is a stylish wine, with lots of red fruit and nice balanced hints of oak. The wine is still young, but already well balanced and with nice tannins. According to Robert Parker "One of the best wines made in Bolgheri"
"This is one of the most beautiful Insoglios I have tasted with lots of blue fruit, such as blueberries, as well as violets. Medium body and firm, silky tannins. Very fine and linear. Syrah, cabernet franc, cabernet sauvignon, merlot, and petit verdot"

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.
