2023 Tenuta di Biserno Biserno

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 Biserno is named after the winery because the wine reflects the terroir and microclimate of the area around the winery. A nice way to name your wine. Only the best grapes are selected for the blend, resulting in a wine of depth, intensity, complexity, durability and elegance.

Bolgheri region and terroir

The vineyards are located on gentle slopes at 100 m altitude, with soils of Bolgheri conglomerate, clay and limestone. This sea breeze-influenced terroir gives freshness and minerality. The Mediterranean climate with warm days and cool nights promotes optimal ripening.

grape varieties and vineyards

The 2022 Biserno is a signature Bordeaux blend of Cabernet Franc, Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon and Petit Verdot. The grapes come from different plots, carefully harvested and selected, contributing to the complex mix of flavors and structure.

vinification and maturation

The wine undergoes fermentation in stainless steel and barrels, followed by ageing in barriques (partly new) and large oak foudres for up to around 14 months. This approach gives the wine both richness and finesse, with soft tannins and layered aromas.

color, odor and flavor profile

The 2022 Biserno shows itself deep ruby red in the glass. On the nose, notes of black cherries, cassis, cedar, spicy herbs and smoky earthy accents appear. On the palate, the wine is full and lush, with silky tannins, fresh acidity and a mineral undertone. The finish is long, with hints of spices, tobacco and a subtle wood note.

why order this wine?

This 2022 Biserno shows the unique signature that Bolgheri and Antinori produce together: elegance, structure and depth in balance. With its layers of fruit, refined wood insert and gastronomic usability, it offers both immediate pleasure and aging potential.
