Robert Parker's Wine Advocate
The 2008 Insoglio del Cinghiale emerges from the glass with rather assertive aromatics, including grilled herbs, blackberry jam, smoke and scorched earth. Plums melt into wild cherries and an assortment of other dark fruit in this plump, juicy red. Some of the intensity of the fruit tapers off on the mid-palate, leading to a finish that is a touch slender. Anticipated maturity: 2010-2018.

Lovely blueberry aromas, with hints of meat, follow through to a full body. Offers soft and silky tannins, as well as notes of currant bush and hints of fresh herbs. Better than 2007. Best from 2011 through 2016. 17,300 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.
