Description
Still red from Tuscany IGT, 14.5% ABV, produced by Biserno. Blend of Cabernet Franc, Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, and Petit Verdot, 2022 vintage. A wine born from the passion and dedication of Tenuta di Biserno, with hand-picked grapes aged for 15 months in new French oak barriques. Tenuta di Biserno extends across approximately 40 hectares at 90 meters above sea level and is where it all began. The predominantly alluvial and clay-limestone soils create an ideal environment for the selected varietals. On the nose, intense and elegant nuances of red fruits, tobacco, licorice, and incense. Deep ruby red color. Majestic, full-bodied on the palate, balanced in its tannins and suppleness. It develops in layers sip after sip, offering a very long finish on pleasant spicy notes.

The soils, mainly alluvial and clay-limestone, create an ideal environment for the selected varieties: Cabernet Franc, Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon, and Petit Verdot.
The vineyard’s varied exposures and its distance from the sea deeply influence the varietal expression: hence the decision to split production into Biserno – the company's most prestigious and representative wine – and Pino di Biserno, which conveys the territory in a more dynamic way. Read more
