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 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 predominantly clay subsoil. The harvest is entirely hand-picked in September and undergoes a rigorous selection in the vineyards, after which it is placed in 15kg baskets. Further selection takes place on the sorting tables in the cellars. During the production process, 40% of the wine is aged in barriques for a period of six months. The remaining wine is aged in stainless steel tanks. The wines from the barriques and steel tanks were then combined and bottled to continue maturing for a further 6 months in the estate's cellars.

The Insoglio del Cinghiale is a stylish wine, with abundant red fruit and beautifully balanced oak notes. The wine is still young, but already well-balanced and with lovely tannins. According to Robert Parker, "One of the finest wines made in Bolgheri."

Sommy Pairing Beschrijving Deze wijn toont rijp zwart fruit zoals pruim en bramen, frisse kruidigheid van kruiden en zwarte peper, elegante tabak- en eiktonen en stevige maar verfijnde tannines die voor structuur zorgen. Juist die mix van rijp fruit, kruidigheid en subtiel hout maakt hem ideaal bij rundvlees en lamsgerechten, bij zoute charcuterie, bij rijke tomaten- of vleessauzen op pasta en pizza en bij gegrild of gemarineerd vlees van de barbecue, omdat de tannines en kruiden de vettigheid knappen en het fruit de geroosterde smaken complementeert. Extra fijne combinaties zijn gegrild entrecote of lamsrack met rozemarijn en knoflook, langzaam gegaarde runderstoof met tomaat of pittige chorizo en oude kazen bij de borrel.

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.
