    Tenuta di Biserno

    About Tenuta di Biserno

    Nestled amongst the hills of Bibbona in the Upper Maremma is the stunningly coastal 90 hectare estate of Tenuta di Biserno. It is, to which the name of its most prestigious cuvée alludes, a member of the legendary Antinori stable which forged a path for the “Super Tuscan” movement of the 1980s when both Ornellaia and Masseto were founded by Lodovico Antinori.

    Having established Bolgheri as a true fine-wine region to compete with the very greatest terroirs across the globe, an employee extoled the virtues of a piece of land just above the Bolgheri DOC to Lodovico in 1994. Describing his first visit as “love at first sight”, Antinori was enamoured by not only the quality of the soils but also the wonderful sea breeze which swirls around these vines bringing with them a cooling effect.

    Cabernet Franc, not yet as devastatingly popular as it is today, was chosen to be the predominant varietal for Tenuta di Biserno thanks to the aforementioned coastal breeze. This varietal's great fault is its tendency towards greenness when picked too early, a particular problem in the lower area of Bolgheri where the scorching heat means harvest must begin earlier to avoid desiccation. Further up the hills, Cabernet Franc can be left far longer on the vine to mature to full ripeness thanks to the significantly lower temperatures.

    Sourced from a choice plot of 6 hectares of the most gravel-dominant and highly situated soils is the formidable Ludovico cuvée, the top wine from this amazing estate.

    Lodovico Antinori's 2015 Biserno is loaded with copious crème de cassis, blackberry jam, spice, lavender, violet and crushed rocks. Silky tannins and a range of floral/spiced overtones convey an impression of refinement. I would give the 2015 a year or two in bottle to allow the tannins to relax a bit.

    The 2018 Biserno is a gorgeous, elegant wine that captures the essence of the house style today. Dark cherry, plum, mocha, espresso, licorice and incense are all laced together. The 2019 is deep and fleshy yet also retains mid-weight structure and terrific energy. It's one of the most elegant wines I have tasted here.

    Composed of a blend of Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc, Merlot, and Petit Verdot, the 2020 Il Pino di Biserno is fresh and energetic within a rich profile. Offering pure aromas of cassis, tobacco, delicate smoke, and pencil lead, the palate is plush and open, with a bit of iron richness, full body, and a round texture without being heavy. Generous with black plum, mocha, cedar, and pine resin, its fleshy and warming style is fresh and open now.

    Varietal tones of Cabernet Franc are the dominant force in the 2011 Lodovico (that also sees an important bending element of Petit Verdot). This wine exudes power and muscular determination with a long tail of ripe black fruit that follows at the end. This was a very warm vintage, and the wine stops extremely short of tasting overtly jammy—although the careful nature of its fruit maturity and sweetness is quite evident nonetheless. Some extra perspective and sharpness is given by the dusty mineral notes that frame the wine.

    This wine will be released in 2019. The spectacular 2015 Lodovico is shaping up to be wine of stratospheric intensity, depth and succulence. Lodovico is a six-hectare parcel found within the greater Bellaria vineyard (that makes the Biserno wine) at this important estate in Bibbona, Coastal Tuscany. The entire site is planted to Bordeaux grapes Cabernet Franc, Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon and Petit Verdot. This vintage delivers power and momentum that drives this wine smoothly over the palate. The bouquet is seamless with dark fruit tones that segue to spice, tar, smoke and cured leather. This is the sixth vintage to be produced. All the previous editions (2007, 2008, 2011, 2012 and 2013) are included in this report.

    Glänzendes, intensives Rubinrot-Violett. Zeigt in der Nase grandioses Spiel, nach Koriandersamen und Kardamom, sehr klar, dahinter viel Brombeere. Satt in Ansatz und Verlauf, entfaltet sich mit viel geschmeidigem, dichtmaschigem Tannin, baut sich in vielen Schichten auf, dunkle Beerenfrucht, im Finale würzig. Shiny, intense ruby red violet. On the nose shows great game, after coriander seeds and cardamom, very clear, behind it a lot of blackberry. Sated in approach and flow, unfolds with a lot of supple, dense tannins, builds up in many layers, dark berry fruit, spicy on the finish.

    Produced since 2007 in Bibbona, bordering Bolgheri, Lodovico is a relatively young label managed by Lodovico Antinori. Annual production is below 10,000 bottles, and the exact blend is not revealed. Cabernet Franc-based, blended with tiny amounts of Merlot and Petit Verdot, the wine is fermented in stainless steel and aged 16 months in barrique, with notably less racking compared to an equivalent Bordeaux. The 2018 is not completely representative (try the outstanding and more concentrated 2016), but it describes fairly well the graceful, Margaux-like elegance of this SuperTuscan. Parma Violets, cedar, eucalyptus, wild raspberry and coffee grounds outline its complexity. Silky tannins are integrated with refreshing acidity.
