Tenuta di Biserno | Antinori

Deep ruby red, a delicate wood note in the bouquet, which results from the fact that approx. 45% of the wine is stored for a short time in barriques. Fresh scent of cherries, dense pithy taste of good structure and length. The tannins still strong, but by no means aggressive. A strong personality wine from Antinoris noble forge Tenuta di Biserno.

"Gorgeous brambleberries, roasted herbs and soaked blueberries show on the nose and follow through to a full body with ripe tannins and a fruity finish. Spicy, too." James Suckling

"The 2017 Insoglio Del Cinghiale is fabulous. That's pretty much all there is to it. Rich, boisterous and super-expressive, the 2017 captures all of the natural radiance of this warm, dry year in its soft curves and voluptuous personality. Succulent red cherry, raspberry jam, mocha, spice and leather all build as the 2017 shows off its alluring personality. Although perhaps not the last word on complexity, the 2017 is flat-out delicious and so easy to drink. Another few years in bottle will favor the development of more nuance, but the 2017 is virtually impossible to resist now." Antonio Galloni

Excellent clear in its aromas of ripe fruits, notes of smoke, liquorice and tar. Reveals new nuances of his personality on the palate. Elegant and refined in every respect. SUPERIORE.DE

"This red is complex and balanced, showing herbal and olive aromas and flavors, along with black currant, iron and tobacco notes. Firm tannins mark the finish as this persists, revealing fruit and savory herb details." Wine Spectator

"Aromas of crushed raspberries, earth, white pepper, and lemon rind follow through to a medium body, light tannins and a clean finish. Fine and clean. Needs a year or two to soften." James Suckling

"Thick and richly endowed, the 2016 Il Pino di Biserno (Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Petit Verdot and Cabernet Sauvignon) is a full-bodied Tuscan blend with dark fruit, spice, tobacco, tar and licorice, all delivered with seamless execution and care. This wine offers thick density followed by deep layers of sweet spice and succulent black fruit." Robert Parker

"The 2016 Il Pino di Biserno is powerful, if rather somber. Dark fruit, scorched earth, graphite, leather, tobacco and torrefaction add to an impression of depth and gravitas. Readers will have to be patient with the 2016, as it needs at least a few years in bottle to shed some of its formidable tannic heft. Even today, though, the 2016 is impressive. I especially admire the way it pulses with energy and tension." Antonio Galloni

Biserno IGT is a unique Supertuscan made from Cabernet Franc, Merlot and Petit Verdot. Ripe bouquet of dark fruits and an excellently integrated, spicy oak wood note, with a delicious hint of freshly ground coffee and cocoa. On the palate with powerful elegance, great finesse, polished tannin and admirable independence. SUPERIORE.DE

"Rich ruby with a high violet content. Very appealing and intense nose, opened with notes of tobacco and cassis, in the background of black nuts and leather, very exciting. Subtle and deep on the palate, much dark berry fruit, unfolds with dense tannin, substantial and voluminous, in the finale saturated pressure, earthy." Falstaff

"This is polished and nuanced, offering plum, blackberry, leather and Mediterranean scrub flavors, backed by stiff tannins. Features lively acidity, and just as the tannins gain the upper hand, the sweet fruit returns." Wine Spectator

"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." Antonio Galloni

"In terms of power and freshness, this lies somewhere between the Lodovico and the Il Pino this vintage, offering lots of beautiful, pure, blackcurrants on the nose, which are bolstered by tile, iodine and crushed stones. The palate shows impeccable finesse and polish, due partly to the tannin quality, but also to the ever-present freshness that gives this spine and willpower." James Suckling

"This edition offers a profoundly exuberant drinking experience that hits the senses with explosive intensity. The quality of the primary fruit is impeccable with Morello cherry, blackberry and dark prune. Savory spice and tobacco frames that fruit with precision and focus. This full-bodied red offers tightly knit texture and firm tannins. The 2015 vintage represents the culmination of a stylistic evolution and years of winemaking experience on behalf of the entire team at Tenuta di Biserno. There is no doubt in my mind that this is best edition of Biserno produced this far." Robert Parker

Unique Supertuscan from Cabernet Franc, Merlot and Petit Verdot. Ripe bouquet of dark fruits and excellently integrated, spicy oak wood notes, along with a delicious hint of freshly ground coffee and cocoa. On the palate with powerful elegance, great finesse, polished tannin and admirable originality and finesse. SUPERIORE.DE

"Rich, deep ruby red. Opened with earthy notes, some truffle and leather, dark tobacco, ripe plums, exciting. Full and supple on the palate, it completely lines the palate, lots of fine-meshed tannin embedded in sweet enamel, firm pressure, very long." Falstaff

"Complex aromas of dark fruit and smoky meat with hints of black licorice. Subtle yet rich. Full bodied, very velvety and round yet fine grained in the tannins. Extremely long and juicy." James Suckling

"Black currant, violet, mint, bell pepper, tobacco and spice aromas and flavors permeate this red. Lean and taut, with fine overall balance and plenty of reserve in the tank." Wine Spectator

"The 2016 Biserno is a softly textured wine with enormous richness, plushness and softness. The bouquet opens to profound depth with thick layers of dark fruit, sweet spice, chocolate, tar and camphor ash. Biserno is a large-frame, full-bodied blend of Cabernet Franc, Merlot and Petit Verdot. This vintage delivers enormous precision, grace and sharpness; however, the lasting impression it leaves is one of power, opulence and irresistible concentration. This wine speaks generously to all the senses, and to your heart." Robert Parker
