2019 Lodovico Antinori Tenuta di Biserno 'Biserno' Tuscany

Winemaker Notes: This is Tenuta di Biserno's namesake wine, and it is the symbol that identifies the Estate. Characterized by the usual deep ruby red color and lively, intense aromatic expression. The bouquet features fresh notes of ripe red fruit, accompanied by scents of brushwood. Delicious on the palate, with a balance of thick and elegant tannins. Savory and persistent finish.

Blend: 32% Cabernet Franc, 30% Merlot, 32% Cabernet Sauvignon, 6% Petit Verdot.

CRITICAL ACCLAIM


James Suckling - "Sophisticated aromas of blackcurrants and blueberries with fresh herbs, such as fresh sage and rosemary. Graceful and complex. Full-bodied with very fine, driven tannins that are sleek and polished. The palate goes on for minutes. 32% Cabernet Franc, 32% Cabernet Sauvignon, 30% Merlot and 6% Petit Verdot. Already beautiful, but in two or four years it will be poetry. Drink or hold."


Robert Parker's Wine Advocate - "Showing inky dark concentration, the flagship Tenuta di Biserno 2019 Biserno is a rich, beautiful and brooding wine. There is so much life and intensity in this vintage that is packed tight with black fruit, spice, tar and sweet tobacco. The aromas are presented with seamless transitions, and the finish is exceptionally long. This wine shows ripeness, but it also offers elegance, and that’s not an easy overlap to make."


Vinous - "The 2019 Biserno is a gorgeous, elegant wine that captures the essence of the house style today. Dark cheery, plum, mocha, espresso, licorice and incense are all laced together. The 2019 is deep and fleshy yet also retains mid-weight structure and terrific energy. It's one of the most elegant wines I have tasted here."
