Description

Italy / Tuscany / Maremma

Wine growing in the Maremma, a former swamp area that was only drained in the 1930s, has a very impressive, albeit young, tradition. Marchese Lodovico Antinori was one of the first to recognize the enormous potential of this region - he actually bought the land with the aim of expanding the vineyards of Ornellaia, but quickly realized that the geological conditions were perfect for a new project much better. Here, in this Mediterranean climate with a constant sea breeze, he cultivates the classic Bordeaux grape varieties and uses them to create world-class wines, the Supertuscans. The Biserno impressively shows how perfectly suited this terroir is for wines with impressive aging and storage potential.

Tenuta di Biserno

Tenuta di Biserno, a renowned winery on the border of Bolgheri in Tuscany, was founded in 1995 by Lodovico Antinori, who became known worldwide for his famous Ornellaia wines.

Originally the vineyards were to become part of Ornellaia, but Antinori recognized the unique terroir and decided to start his own winery project. Today Tenuta di Biserno produces an impressive range of Super Tuscan wines under the IGT Toscana.

The vineyard is located in the coastal region of Alta Maremma, where the cooling influences of the Mediterranean are noticeable. The soil, rich in limestone and calcium carbonate, offers ideal conditions for the grape varieties Cabernet Franc, Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and Petit Verdot, which have thrived here since 2003. The grapes are harvested by hand and fermented in stainless steel before being aged in French oak and in the bottle.

Biserno's flagship product is the Insoglio del Cinghiale, a powerful cuvée of Cabernet Franc, Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon, Syrah and Petit Verdot, produced only in the best vintages.
