Tenuta di Biserno | Antinori

Occhione is a racy and fresh cuvée of 90% Vermentino and 10% Viognier. Bright light yellow with greenish reflections. On the nose, fine notes of peach, mango and grapefruit, on the palate of medium power with floral, fruity notes and a well-dosed acidity. All in all, a fresh and elegant wine that not only goes perfectly with fine Mediterranean fish cuisine, but also brings the typical maquis of the Maremma into the glass. SUPERIORE.DE

Rich ruby red, a delicate woody note on the nose resulting from the fact that approx. 45% of the wine is aged for a short time in barriques. Fresh aroma of cherries, dense, robust taste with good structure and length. The tannins are still strong, but by no means aggressive. A wine with a strong personality from Antinori's noble forge Tenuta di Biserno. SUPERIORE.DE

SOF is a rosé project designed by Sophia Antinori, daughter of Lodovico Antinori, and packaged in a heavy frosted bottle with a flared cap. This delicate Tuscan rosato displays a pale pink colour with light amber highlights. The wine smells of sweet fruits such as wild raspberries and fragolina di bosco, which are followed by bitter almond and dried sage. It is a slender-bodied rosé with balanced freshness and lively acidity that is immensely enjoyable! SUPERIORE.DE

Excellent clarity and typical aromas of ripe fruit, notes of smoke, liquorice and tar. Continually reveals new nuances of its personality on the palate. Elegant and refined in every way. SUPERIORE.DE

"Sweet, wild berry fruity bouquet, flanked by herbal and cedar notes; smooth course, the tannins soft and well integrated, combines melting and character." Vinum

"Rich, dark ruby red. In the nose of ripe Amarena cherries and dark forest berries, in the aftertaste a slightly meaty note as well as a hint of chocolate and black tea. Very elegant and mouth-filling on the palate, salty, harmonious, long and fruity final." Falstaff

"The 2020 Il Pino di Biserno is bold and ripe with creamy blackberry, candied cherry, spice and tarry smoke. There are pressed roses, blood oranges and tea leaves buried deep inside. The tannins are pronounced, but this full-bodied Tuscan red is almost ready to go straight out of the gate." Wine Advocate

"Extremely perfumed and aromatic with rose petals, lavender and violets. Hints of fresh herbs to the blackcurrant fruit. Medium-to full-bodied with very fine tannins and a long, persistent finish. It goes on for minutes. I love the balance of this." James Suckling

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

"After a little aeration, harmonious aromas of dark berries and herbs; dense and full-bodied in the mouth, the tannins close-meshed, the acidity supports excellently, lingering notes of cassis, chocolate and coffee in the final. Convinces with its opulent yet finesse-rich style." Vinum

"Powerful, dark ruby. Intense nose with fine nougat notes, behind it full of blackberries and plums, some liquorice in the background. Substantial in attack and course, opens with dense tannin, intense and deep, fine cardamom notes add spice, multilayered and long." Falstaff

"Blackberry and plum fruit are overshadowed by vanilla, milk chocolate and spice in this dense, supple red that finishes with spice and toasted oak accents. It has a solid structure, but the overall harmony is there." Wine Spectator

"The 2018 Biserno is a beast of a wine, filling the room with its scents as you pour the wine into your glass. The bouquet is layered and rich with strong notes of ripe blackberry and black plum followed by baker's chocolate, spice and dark mahogany or cigar box. The tannins have been superbly tamed and the wine offers a long, polished finish and an impressive, full-bodied presence." Wine Advocate

"The 2018 Biserno is a beautiful, elegant wine that captures the essence of today's house style. Dark cherry, plum, mocha, espresso, liquorice and incense are all interwoven. The 2019 is deep and fleshy, but also retains a medium weight structure and great energy. It is one of the most elegant wines I have tasted here." Vinous

"Very subtle aromas of blackberries, black olives, tobacco, cedar and damp earth. Wild mushrooms, like oyster mushrooms. Full-bodied with firm, very silky tannins and juicy fruit. Extremely refined and balanced with a long, racy finish. Great complexity. What the 2017 had in concentration, this has in elegance and complexity. Wonderful length." James Suckling

"Multifaceted perfume with notes of blackberries and black cherries, bitter chocolate and Mediterranean maquis; full-bodied, the tannins extremely close-meshed, lots of pressure and density, but also filigree elements, the finish elegant and long." Vinum

"Powerful, bright ruby violet. Very clearly marked, memorable nose with lots of dark berry fruit, blackberries, blueberries and currants in abundance, behind it delicately smoky components. Firm pressure on the palate, opens with sturdy, very well-placed tannin, fine spicy notes, stays on the palate for a long time." Falstaff

"The 2019 Biserno is a beautiful, elegant wine that captures the essence of today's house style. Dark cherry, plum, mocha, espresso, liquorice and incense are all interwoven. The 2019 is deep and fleshy, but also retains a medium weight structure and great energy. It is one of the most elegant wines I have tasted here." Vinous

"Tenuta di Biserno's flagship 2019 Biserno is a rich, beautiful and brooding wine that shows deep dark concentration. There is so much life and intensity in this vintage, which is densely packed with black fruits, spices, tar and sweet tobacco. The flavours blend seamlessly and the finish is exceptionally long. This wine shows its maturity but also its elegance, and that's not easy to achieve." Wine Advocate

"Refined aromas of blackcurrants and blueberries with fresh herbs like fresh sage and rosemary. Graceful and complex. Full-bodied with very fine, driven tannins that are supple and polished. Lingers on the palate for minutes. Beautiful already, but in two to four years it will be a poem." James Suckling

On the palate with powerful elegance, great finesse, polished tannin and admirable independence. SUPERIORE.DE

"Smells wild - herbal and gorgeously floral on the nose with ripe black, bramble fruit aromas. Round and supple, fully flavoured and textured with just fleshy tannins that also have a cool, mineral chalky edge giving some minerality to the palate and freshness offsetting the ripe, sweet black and blue fruit. I like the lingering powdery element and this has a certain sharp, sophistication - cool blue fruits, cola, vanilla, cedar and toast. I'd be hard pushed to put it in Tuscany though, it does smell and taste more like old-school Bordeaux or Californian wine. Massy, heavy, pushed with both oak and extraction." Decanter

After many years of identifying the best Merlot, Cabernet and Petit Verdot parcels within the boundaries of their Bolgheri estate with the support of the famous oenologist Michel Rolland, the Antinori family discovered in the early 2000s that in the midst of this microclimate and terroir there was an even more special small vineyard whose results once again surpassed those of the larger area. It was immediately clear to all involved that this unique character had to be vinified and highlighted separately - this was the birth of today's cult wine Lodovico.

As the vines age, Lodovico comes of age. With the 2012 vintage, it is not better now, but a little more nuanced than its predecessors. Ripe, dark fruits on the nose. Highly complex on the palate, with a depth and tannic structure that impressively reflect the age of the vines, plus a freshness and acidity framework that flanks the berry potpourri in a balanced way and, together with the ultra-fine tannin, leads into a long, firm finish. A multi-layered red with a strong character and the necessary storm and stress for the winner's podium. SUPERIORE.DE

"You'll find aromas of cassis, French oak, cedar and blue flower on this full-bodied red. Made with Cabernet Franc and a tiny amount of Petit Verdot, the polished structured palate delivers black currant, star anise, espresso and aromatic herb set against fine-grained tannins that leave a firm finish." Wine Enthusiast

"The colour is deeper than the 2013, with a rich, smoky nose of brooding blackcurrant notes. It's densely concentrated and very ripe, with fewer green herb notes. There's a sumptuous texture, and a velvety quality to the still-firm tannins. An assertive style with plenty of refinement too." Decanter

"The estate's 2012 Lodovico, mostly Cabernet Franc with a dollop of Petit Verdot, boasts striking nuance for such a big, powerful wine. Here the flavors are intense but also beautifully delineated throughout. Mocha, espresso, blackberry jam and sweet herbs add shades of nuance on the dramatic finish. The interplay of structure and raciness should become even more compelling over the next handful of years." Vinous

"The 2012 Lodovico is a breakout wine that marks the beginning of its own distinct identity. This is a complete, 360-degree expression that is also showing very nicely at this moment in its drinking window. I'd say it is on the cusp of its tasting apex. The vines were planted in 2003 and 2004, so they were still young when this wine was made. Still, the quality of fruit is articulate and intense with blackberry, cinnamon, wet earth and pressed rose petal." Wine Advocate

"So aromatic and enticing with such gorgeous perfumes of flower and berry. Full body, integrated tannins with fantastic fruit and balance. Long and illustrious." James Suckling

After many years of identifying the best Merlot, Cabernet and Petit Verdot parcels within the boundaries of their Bolgheri estate with the support of the famous oenologist Michel Rolland, the Antinori family discovered in the early 2000s that in the midst of this microclimate and terroir there was an even more special micro-vineyard whose results once again surpassed those of the larger area. It was immediately clear to all involved that this unique character had to be vinified and highlighted separately - this was the birth of today's cult wine Lodovico.

Strong ruby with a black core. Intense and dense nose, opens with blackberry, mulberry and dark currant, tobacco and dark pepper in the background. Polished and velvety in attack and course, shows lots of juicy fruit, dark berries, fine-meshed, very polished tannin, radiates for a long time with a rich finish. Just 7,000 bottles were produced in 2017 from the single vineyard Vigna Lodovico of Tenuta di Biserno. Every year, the wine is a true icon of western Tuscany in terms of expression and complexity and is only allocated to a hand-picked number of importers each year. SUPERIORE.DE

"Powerful, sparkling ruby violet. Opens with notes of graphite and tobacco, lots of dark berries, especially blueberry and elderberry, some eucalyptus. Also shows a lot of tobacco on the palate, unfolds with grippy tannin, deep earthy components, some tomato paste, firm pressure on the final, but also drying, additional storage is certainly beneficial." Falstaff

"This has a polished nose of mulberries, cassis, cloves, cedar and lavender. It’s full-bodied with firm, chewy tannins. Plush and creamy with a velvety texture. Layered, rich and intense, with lingering spice and chocolate on a long finish. Very focused. Polished." James Suckling

"This is the headline wine from Lodovico Antinori's Tenuta di Biserno. The hot vintage 2017 Lodovico shows a rich and deeply saturated color with elegant tones of dark fruit, spice, rum cake, dried plum, jerky, charred meat and cured tobacco. Like the Biserno, this special vineyard selection reveals slightly less depth and dimension in terms of mouthfeel. That more compact palate is a common feature of the 2017 vintage in which hard work and severe fruit selection was achieved in order to counter the jammy concentration of the berries. This remains a big wine, however, with the balanced and bright acidity that is a crucial indicator of the wine's undeniable quality and pedigree." Wine Advocate

Connoisseurs know and appreciate the Biserno, the winery's second flagship. The grape composition is more or less the same, only here the grapes come from the Bellaria vineyard. As every year, Lodovico puts the crown on the results of the Tenuta di Biserno. The 2018 release is a highly accomplished wine of extraordinary expression and tremendous depth - and a flavour profile that balances concentration and power with the careful precision of the varieties used in the blend. The result is sharp and focused, allowing for detailed imaging of blackberries and plums followed by spices, delicate toasty notes and some chocolate. The elegant tannins are sweet and carefully integrated into every fibre of the wine. If you have followed the evolution of Lodovico over the last decade, at the latest with the current vintage and the age of the vines, the rythm has been found to produce a world class wine. Chapeau! SUPERIORE.DE

"Rich ruby with fine violet shimmer. Compact, fleshy nose with notes of cardamom, a hint of cinnamon, lots of blackberry and cassis. Very polished on the attack, showing lots of fine-meshed tannin, after blackberry and tobacco, final with green-spicy notes that dampen the drinking flow somewhat." Falstaff

"Beautiful aromas of currants, sage and other fresh herbs follow through to a full body with round, creamy tannins. Enticing texture and luscious fruit character. Very balanced and refined. Pretty now, but will be better in 2023 and onwards." James Suckling

"The Tenuta di Biserno 2018 Lodovico shows a high degree of focus and sharpness in this vintage that was not always easy given some extra rain showers. This full-bodied Tuscan red is vertical and very intense while maintaining a careful sense of balance and aromatic equilibrium all the while. It shows big, black intensity with lots of fruit thickness and layering. The wine strikes at that proverbial and elusive crossroads between power and elegance." Wine Advocate

"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." Wine Spectator

"The Tenuta di Biserno 2019 Lodovico is another iconic wine from the Tuscan coast. This magnificent blend of Cabernet Franc, Merlot and Petit Verdot reveals thick layers of dark fruit, pressed blackberry, leather and spice. The wine is beautifully concentrated and well-rounded with all the added textural softness and richness of the warm and sunny growing climate found on the Tuscan coast. The finish is long and impeccable." Wine Advocate

Lodovico from the rather "plump" and very balanced year 2015 in Western Tuscany immediately inspires in the glass with its rich, deeply saturated colour and the bouquet of dark plums, cedar wood, white smoke and vanilla. Compact and clear on the palate, the multi-layered aromas of black berries only gradually reveal themselves, but at no point do they seem overloaded. On the contrary: the balanced, bright acidity and the perfectly woven tannin keep the vintage-related opulence well in check and ensure that the DNA of this famous exceptional red wine is not only preserved but especially accentuated. SUPERIORE.DE

"Bright ruby red with a light garnet edge. Very incisive nose, of sour cherries, blackberries and plums, underpinned by fine spices. Dense and gripping on the palate, firm tannin built into lots of sweet melt, baroque richness, a firework of spice flavours." Falstaff

"The 2015 Lodovico is a wine of real character and personality. Espresso, mocha, blackberry, spice, leather, cedar and a host of Cabernet Franc-infused aromas and flavors race out of the glass. Deep and brooding in voice, the 2015 speaks with real authority. A hint of reduction is going to need time in bottle to dissipate." Vinous

"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." Wine Advocate

"This has a very deep and intense nose of dark plums, black pepper, charcuterie, vanilla, cedar, bark and dried nutmeg. Yet, there’s underlying freshness, thanks to hints of blueberries and fresh spices. Full-bodied and really plush, but framed in a fine coat of chewy tannins. Linear acidity throughout keeps it fresh and spicy." James Suckling

"Shiny, intense ruby violet. Shows a terrificplay on the nose, of coriander seeds and cardamom, very clear, lots of blackberry behind it. Full in attack and course, unfolds with lots of supple, tightly meshed tannin, builds up in many layers, dark berry fruit, spicy on the final." Falstaff

"Wonderfully ripe, yet fresh aromas of cassis, blackberries and blueberries, underpinned by noble spicy notes and garrigue herbs. Perfectly composed on the palate, with great fruit richness and an almost delicate structure. Long lasting." Vinum

"An opulent red that delivers saturated blackberry, black currant and blueberry fruit, shaded by coconut and toasty oak. Flashes of olive and tobacco emerge as this plays out on the long aftertaste. Harmonious and velvety, this retains a sense of elegance." Wine Spectator

"A very fine and polished red with black cherries and hints of walnuts on the nose and palate. Medium body. Lovely, tensioned tannins. Sleek and racy." James Suckling

"This is the flagship wine from Tenuta di Biserno. It represents a special selection of grapes from within the estate's Bellaria vineyard that is planted to the same Bordeaux varieties used to make the Biserno. The 2016 Lodovico is an exceptional expression with enormous depth and a contemporary taste profile that weighs concentration and power against the careful precision of the varieties used in the blend. The results are sharp and focused, allowing for detailed renditions of blackberry and plum followed by elegance, spice, toast and chocolate. The tannins are sweet and carefully integrated within the rich fiber of the wine. Tenuta di Biserno has found its stride." Wine Advocate
