Winemaker Notes
Brilliant deep ruby red. Intense nose with fruity, floral and spicy notes; cherries, black currants, blackberries, chocolate, coffee, black pepper. Velvety tannins and a good acidity gives backboneand structure to the rich flavors. The wine has a seamless balance with a long and fine finish.

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate
The 2009 Biserno (Cabernet Franc, Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and Petit Verdot) is humming with energy and bold fruit flavors of blackberry, chocolate-covered cherry, rum cake, exotic spice, moist pipe tobacco, salvia and dried garden herb. It shows enormous balance and a profound, opulent mouthfeel. The finish is long and extra smooth. Give this beautiful Tuscan blend a few more years in the bottle. Anticipated maturity: 2015-2030.

Aromas of blackberries, rosemary, blueberries, and spices. Full body, with fine tannins and a racy, clean finish. Very fine indeed. It goes on for minutes.

Wine Enthusiast
This beautiful blend of Cabernet Franc, Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon opens with bold intensity and personality. Yes, this is a plush and modern wine, but it is also unforgettably delicious. Bright cherry and blackberry are backed by chocolate, spice, leather and pipe tobacco.

Wine Spectator
Elegant and aromatic, offering cherry, black currant, violet, cedar and tobacco aromas and flavors. Balanced, this lingers with fruit and spice on the finish. Cabernet Franc, Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon and Petit Verdot. Drink now through 2018. 1,660 cases made.
"One of the big developments is the release of two vintages of a new wine from Tenuta di Biserno. Biserno is the new family-owned winery of brothers Piero and Lodovico Antinori, located just outside the appellation of Bolgheri…
I find the style of the property's wines already to be a fascinating combination of Ornellaia's and Sassicaia's, emphasizing the generosity of the former and the firmness and backbone of the latter."

Legendary in Italy for its Renaissance art and striking landscape, Tuscany is also home to many of the country’s best red wines. Sangiovese reigns supreme here, as either the single varietal, or a dominant player, in almost all of Tuscany’s best.
A remarkable Chianti, named for its region of origin, will have a bright acidity, supple tannins and plenty of cherry fruit character. From the hills and valleys surrounding the medieval village of Montalcino, come the distinguished and age-worthy wines based on Brunello (Sangiovese). Earning global acclaim since the 1970s, the Tuscan Blends are composed solely of international grape varieties or a mix of international and Sangiovese. The wine called Vine Nobile di Montepulciano, composed of Prognolo Gentile (Sangiovese) and is recognized both for finesse and power.
