Robert Parker's Wine Advocate
A blend of Cabernet Franc, Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon and Petit Verdot, the 2010 Biserno really starts to show the potential of the Biserno site. Ten-year-old vines have held up nicely in this balanced vintage with cool nights and warm days. The bouquet is compelling and rich with bright spots of red cherry and chocolate that make for a joyful juxtaposition. Soft waves of spice and cinnamon are woven deep within Biserno’s thick texture. Soft tannins and thick consistency build momentum on the finish. The 2010 vintage should hold for ten years or more.

Graphite, black currants, mocha and spice aromas emerge from the glass. Made with Cabernet Franc, Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon and Petit Verdot, the rich, smooth palate doles out ripe red cherry, crushed black raspberry, dark chocolate, espresso and licorice wrapped in soft, silky tannins. Drink through 2019.

Fresh and floral with blueberry, sliced nutmeg, currant and dark chocolate. Full body with firm, pretty fruit. Long, long finish. A little austere. Tight now - needs more time to soften. Closed from past tastings. Try in 2016.

Wine Spectator
A fresh, concentrated red, offering ripe black cherry and black currant flavors, with hints of bell pepper, cedar, chocolate and spice. Nicely balanced, with excellent structure and grip on the lingering, mineral-tinged finish. Best from 2016 through 2023.

"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.
