Biserno lies in Bibbona where the soil is very rich in minerals. This persuaded Marchese Lodovico Antinori to plant exclusively Bordeaux varieties, significant proportions of Cabernet Franc, followed by Merlot, some Cabernet Sauvignon and surprisingly high proportions of Petit Verdot. Biserno enjoys excellent light, and benefits from both perfect exposure to the sun, as well as cooling sea breezes. The estate already exercises very high maintenance and disciplined, sustainable, agriculture with minimum intervention. “2015 was yet another year when it paid off to be patient and to take some risks in leaving the grapes hanging, despite worrying weather forecasts. “ Helena Lindberg, Winemaker
""Destemmed and gently crushed, the alcoholic fermentation is in stainless steel, with 60% of the malolactic fermentation being in oak barrels, the remainder in stainless steel. This Biserno was aged for 15 months in 75% new French oak barriques, the rest in one year old barrels. Opaque jet-ruby, shimmering and inviting, This is dark and brooding on the nose, with black fruit intensity, blackberry and black cherries obvious on the nose, allied to earthy minerals and a persistent hint of macerated dried plums. The concentration of fruit is impressive but there is a savoury element which complements the fruit profile - cigar box notes and spice
