A blend of Cabernet Franc Merlot Cabernet Sauvignon and a small part Petit Verdot from Bibbona on the Tuscan Coast the Tenuta di Biserno 2021 Biserno is heavy on the Cabernet side of the spectrum with rosemary and lavender that give the wine a very Mediterranean personality. Beyond that there is black fruit spice and campfire ash. This is a thick and richly concentrated wine with a lovely sense of balance and power. It finishes long and rich. There is a hint of spicy black pepper on the close. - Monica Larner Started in 2001 Tenuta di Biserno is the passion project of Lodovico Antinori his bother Piero Antinori and nephew Niccolò Marzichi Lenzi (who is the general manager today). It has 40 hectares of vines in Bibbona on the Tuscan Coast at 90 meters above sea level on alluvial clay-limestone soils. The grapes planted are Cabernet Franc Merlot Cabernet Sauvignon and Petit Verdot.
The fresh herbs such as basil and thyme are attractive coupled with currants and blackberries on the nose. Full-bodied with lots of fruit and velvety tannins showing an opulence and Super Tuscan intensity. It needs three to five years to come together. Try after 2027.
