Tenuta di Biserno

Il Pino di Biserno Tenuta di Biserno 2019 Halves

A refined rosé, with zesty fruit on the nose and soft, creamy red berries on the palate. Fuller in texture, still with mouth-watering freshness to keep it light on its feet.

A gorgeous nose of violets, Raspberries and black cherries followed by a palate that’s packed with concentrated dark fruit. Approachable yet expressive!

The fruit on the nose is sweet and rich – a blend of dark fruit earthiness and red berry high notes, hints of undergrowth and floral lift. The palate is luscious, sumptuous and yet graceful, supported by fruit-coated, ripe tannins. This is full of energy with hints of both chocolate and kirsch to finish – deeply impressive.

Perfect to drink now, the flagship from Lodovico Antinori's Tenuta di Biserno is a rich, Cabernet Franc-dominant red from Bibbona, on the Tuscan coast. Glorious!

Savoury, sweet and smoky complexity here in 2012, a perfect celebratory, Sunday roast wine.

Biserno Tenuta di Biserno 2009 Double Magnum

"On the nose, there is a rather beguiling balance of bright playfulness and brooding sobriety - quite a feat, and very much part of the overall charm. There is abundant fruit here, fresh and upbeat, with hints of spice and dark coffee, complemented by almost citric freshness and an underlying saline seam of minerals. Beautifully balanced, even in its infancy, this will continue to improve. The floral aromatics on the attenuated finish add additional elegance and flair - lovely wine."

This Biserno was aged for 15 months in 90% new French oak barriques and the rest in one year old barrels. The wine is then further aged for 12 months in the bottle before release – expensive but a quality-driven decision. This is a beautiful jet-garnet in colour. The nose offers dark cherry fruit, earthy and mineral, deep, complex, peppery, layered and full. This is a real star, luscious and ripe whilst veering decisively from jammy territory. We find a certain classical feel allied to chocolate warmth and generosity – lovely wine.
