James Suckling
Intensity and elegance dominate in this wine. The nose shows aromatic herbs, eucalyptus, bramble fruit and sweet spices. Full-bodied, it has firm, velvety tannins, refreshing acidity, a slightly chalky finish and a long, savory aftertaste. Drinkable now, but best in two or three years.

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate
The Tenuta di Biserno 2022 Biserno, a dark and rich blend of Cabernet Franc, Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon and Petit Verdot, reveals layered aromas of dark fruit, sweet spice and campfire ember. A bright note of candied orange adds multidimensionality and a touch of extra sweetness, lifting the overall profile. Fermented in steel and aged for 15 months in mostly new French barriques, the wine reflects a hot vintage yet avoids feeling weighed down, finishing with soft, sweet tannins and a polished texture.

Wine Spectator
This is ripe, offering plum, blackberry, black cherry, coconut and mineral flavors, yet remains fresh and focused. Shows fine balance among its components, and the long, spicy aftertaste completes the profile. 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.
