Tenuta di Biserno | Antinori

Sattes Rubinrot, im Bouquet eine zarte Holznote, die daraus resultiert, dass ca. 45% des Weins für kurze Zeit im Barrique lagert. Frischer Duft nach Kirschen, dichter kerniger Geschmack von guter Struktur und Länge. Die Tannine noch kräftig, aber keinesfalls aggressiv. Ein persönlichkeitsstarker Wein aus Antinoris Edelschmiede Tenuta di Biserno. SUPERIORE.DE

Hervorragend klar und typisch in seiner Aromatik nach reifen Früchten, Noten von Rauch, Lakritze und Teer. Offenbart am Gaumen immer wieder neue Nuancen seiner Persönlichkeit. Elegant und raffiniert in jeder Hinsicht. SUPERIORE.DE

Einzigartiger Supertuscan aus Cabernet Franc, Merlot und Petit Verdot. Reifes Bouquet aus dunklen Früchten und hervorragend integrierter, würziger Eichenholznote, dazu der köstliche Hauch von frisch gemahlenem Kaffee und Kakao. Am Gaumen mit kraftvoller Eleganz, großer Finesse, poliertem Tannin und bewundernswerter Eigenständigkeit und Finesse. SUPERIORE.DE

"Nach etwas Belüftung stimmige Aromen von dunklen Beeren und Kräutern; im Mund dicht und füllig die Tannine engmaschig, die Säure unterstützt vortrefflich, anhalltende Noten von Cassis, Schokolade und Kaffee im Finale. Überzeugt mit seiner opulenten und doch finessenreichen Machart." Vinum

"Kraftvolles, dunkles Rubin. Intensive Nase mit feinen Nougatnoten, dahinter satt nach Brombeeren und Zwetschken, etwas Lakritze im Hintergrund. Stoffig in Ansatz und Verlauf, öffnet sich mit dichtmaschigem Tannin, intensiv und tiefgründig, feine Kardamomnoten geben Würze, vielschichtig und lange." Falstaff

"Blackberry and plum fruit is shaded by vanilla, milk chocolate and spice in this dense, supple red, ending with spice and toasty oak accents. This has a solid structure, but the overall harmony is there." Wine Spectator

"The 2018 Biserno is a beast of a wine that fills the room with its perfumes as you pour the wine into your glass. The bouquet is thickly layered and rich with potent notes of ripe blackberry and blackish plum followed by baker's chocolate, spice and dark mahogany or cigar box. Excellent work has been achieved to tame the tannins, and the wine offers a long, polished feel and an impactful, full-bodied presence." Robert Parker

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

"Sattes, undurchdringliches Rubin-Violett. Pure Frucht in der Nase! Ein Korb aus dunkler Beerenfrucht, klar und präzise, vor allem Brombeere und schwarze Ribisel. In Ansatz und Verlauf sehr präzise, straffes Tannin mit feinem Schmelz im Kern, baut sich in vielen Schichten auf, stoffig und dicht, viel dunkle Beerenfrucht, im Finale satt nach dunkler Schokolade." Falstaff

"Polished and harmonious, with black currant, black cherry, licorice, herb and vanilla flavors. Concentrated and intense, with a sense of elegance. Offers a fine, saturating finish." Wine Spectator

"The Cabernet Franc-based 2011 Lodovico is compelling. Dark raspberry jam, grilled herbs, smoke, scorched earth blossom in a deep, remarkably pure wine built on breadth and texture. The wine freshens up nicely in the glass, with hints of rose petals and sweet spices that add complexity. Layers of dark red fruit wrap around the resonant, highly expressive finish." Vinous

"Varietal tones of Cabernet Franc are the dominant force in the 2011 Lodovico. This wine exudes power and muscular determination with a long tail of ripe black fruit that follows at the end. This was a very warm vintage, and the wine stops extremely short of tasting overtly jammy-although the careful nature of its fruit maturity and sweetness is quite evident nonetheless. Some extra perspective and sharpness is given by the dusty mineral notes that frame the wine." Robert Parker

"Aromas of graphite, black currant, plum, cedar, blue flowers and tobacco emerge from this full-bodied red. Made with Cabernet Franc and a drop of Petit Verdot, the structured palate offers blackberries, licorice, clove and a toasted note alongside velvety tannins. It shows great finesse." Wine Enthusiast

"The vines were coming of age in 2011, a year of near-perfect growing conditions. This has a lovely bright, enticing nose with aromas of cassis, exotic sweet oak spice, coconut, dark chocolate, tar and woodsmoke. A super-silky first impression is filled out with flavours of blackcurrant, liquorice, dark chocolate and herbs. It's in a slightly austere, sulky teenage moment right now, the firm tannins closing down the fruit, but there's plenty of pleasure to come with a little more time." Decanter

"A firm, sexy red with minerals, blackberries and rose petals. Full body with ultra-fine tannins and an intense finish. So long. The hot-stone character and ripe fruit go on for minutes here. The most complex, refined Lodvoico ever." James Suckling

"A juicy, rich wine with currant, powdered chocolate and hints of vanilla. Full body with chewy tannins and a powerful, rich, chewy finish." James Suckling

"Though rich, this red is elegant and harmonious, featuring flavors of black currant, cherry, cedar, graphite and spice. A supple and polished wine, with a beam of fruit persisting through the finish." Wine Spectator

"The 2008 Lodovico has developed beautifully. Today, the 2008 is complex, beguiling and wonderfully expressive. The tannins remain formidable though, and will require additional time in bottle to soften. A blast of dark red/black fruit, smoke and incense hits the palate on the explosive finish. The 2008 is just beginning to enter its tertiary phase. Hints of smoke, tobacco, savory herbs and licorice inform the deeply expressive finish. What a gorgeous wine this is." Vinous

"Layers of espresso, mocha, blackberry jam and spices take shape in the glass. The 2008 shows remarkable depth and polish all the way through to the finish. The Lodovico is another big, persistent wine endowed with tons of Maremma warmth and personality. These vines are just 6-7 years old. The potential for the future seems very, very bright." Robert Parker

"From the coastal Tuscan estate of Lodovico Antinori (brother of Piero), here comes a gorgeous blend of Cabernets Sauvignon and Franc, Merlot and a small percentage of Petit Verdot. Soft chocolate and black cherry opens the nose and segues to enormous richness and length. The wine is excellent but the jury is out on whether it becomes one of the great cult classics of Italy." Wine Enthusiast

"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." Robert Parker

"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

Kräftiges Rubin mit schwarzem Kern. Intensive und dichte Nase, eröffnet mit Brombeere, Maulbeere und dunkler Johannisbeere, im Hintergrund nach Tabak und dunklem Pfeffer. Geschliffen und samtig in Ansatz und Verlauf, zeigt viel saftige Frucht, dunkle Beeren, feinmaschige, sehr geschliffenes Tannin, strahlt lange dahin mit einem satten Nachhall. Gerade mal 6.000 Flaschen entstehen jedes Jahr von der Einzellage Vigna Lodovico der Tenuta di Biserno und werden dann nach dem Vornamen des Gründers benannt. Der Wein ist in Ausdruck und Komplexität eine echte Ikone der Westtoskana und wird jedes Jahr nur einer handverlesenen Zahl Importeure zugeteilt. SUPERIORE.DE

"Kraftvolles, funkelndes Rubinviolett. Eröffnet mit Noten nach Grafit und Tabak, viel dunkle Beeren, vor allem Heidel- und Holunderbeere, etwas Eukalyptus. Zeigt auch am Gaumen viel Tabak, entfaltet sich mit griffigem Tannin, tiefgründige, erdige Komponenten, etwas Tomatenmark, fester Druck im Finale, aber auch trocknend, zusätzliche Lagerung ist sicher von Vorteil." 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." Robert Parker

"Sattes Rubin mit feinem violettfarbenem Schimmer. Kompakte, fleischige Nase mit Noten nach Kardamom, ein Hauch Zimt, viel Brombeere und Cassis. Im Ansatz sehr geschliffen, zeigt viel feinmaschiges Tannin, nach Brombeere und Tabak, im Finale grün-würzige Noten, die den Trinkfluss etwas dämpfen." 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." Robert Parker

"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

"Leuchtendes Rubinrot mit leichtem Granatrand. Sehr prägnante Nase, nach Weichseln, Brombeeren und Zwetschken, unterlegt von feinen Gewürzen. Dicht und zupackend am Gaumen, festes Tannin, das in viel süßen Schmelz eingebaut ist, barocke Fülle, ein Feuerwerk an Gewürzaromen." 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." Robert Parker

"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

"Glänzendes, intensives Rubinrot-Violett. Zeigt in der Nase grandioses Spiel, nach Koriandersamen und Kardamom, sehr klar, dahinter viel Brombeere. Satt in Ansatz und Verlauf, entfaltet sich mit viel geschmeidigem, dichtmaschigem Tannin, baut sich in vielen Schichten auf, dunkle Beerenfrucht, im Finale würzig." Falstaff

"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." Robert Parker
