Winemaker Notes
#20 Jeb Dunnuck Top 100 of 2025
The color in the glass is a deep, vibrant, intense ruby red. The nose offers surprising intensity and elegant complexity of aromas. Herbs and aromatic spices emerge from the ripe black and forest fruits, with hints of roast coffee and dry pastries followed by delicate ageing notes resulting from the time spent in barriques. With a finely integrated taste, this wine is full and enveloping, with velvety tannins and a freshness that invites you to drink it. Balanced, harmonious, fine and expressive, it is capable of constant evolution.
Blend: 35% Cabernet Franc, 32% Merlot, 29% Cabernet Sauvignon, 4% Petit Verdot

Lastly comes the 2021 Biserno, which has a saturated purple/magenta color and is luxurious and layered with aromas of black plum, polished leather, vanilla bean, pencil lead, and lavender. Fleshy and full, it’s round and supple, with velvety tannins, seamless acidity, and a long, graceful finish.

The fresh herbs such as basil and thyme are attractive coupled with currants and blackberries on the nose. Full-bodied with lots of fruit and velvety tannins showing an opulence and Super Tuscan intensity.

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate
A blend of Cabernet Franc, Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon and a small part Petit Verdot from Bibbona on the Tuscan Coast, the Tenuta di Biserno 2021 Biserno is heavy on the Cabernet side of the spectrum, with rosemary and lavender that give the wine a very Mediterranean personality. Beyond that, there is black fruit, spice and campfire ash. This is a thick and richly concentrated wine with a lovely sense of balance and power. It finishes long and rich. There is a hint of spicy black pepper on the close.

This is fresh and well-defined by its bracing acidity, driving the black currant, blackberry, herb and spice flavors. Smooth and harmonious, with a line of chalky tannins on the finish, while the herb elements persist. Cabernet Franc, Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and Petit Verdot.
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.
