This is very classy on the nose, with subtle aromas of blackberry, dark chocolate and flowers. Full-bodied, with silky tannins and a long, caressing finish. Refined and very pretty.

This Bordeaux-inspired blend (2005 is the second vintage made) represents the collaborative effort of Lodovico Antinori and Michel Rolland. You’ll get clear berry fruit, green peppercorn, dried herbs and smoky oak tones. The estate’s flagship wine, Biserno, will be released later this year, and expect great things from this duo in years to come as the estate matures.

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate
The top of the line 2005 Il Pino di Biserno is simply beautiful. It possesses outstanding clarity in its aromatics and ripe fruit. Notes of smoke, licorice and tar dance on the palate as this sexy wine continues to reveal new shades of its personality with every taste. The oak needs some time to come together, but this is an elegant, refined wine in every way. Il Pino di Biserno is a cuvee of Cabernet Franc, Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and Petit Verdot. Anticipated maturity: 2010-2023.
Tenuta di Biserno is the new project being headed by brothers Lodovico and Piero Antinori.Winemaking is overseen by Helena Lindberg with the consulting services of Michel Rolland.These are beautiful wines from an estate that is on the rise.

"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.
