Given its proximity to Bolgheri, it is not surprising he was at first struck by the similarity in terroir. What he found in Bibbona, however, had so much potential, he was inspired to develop a quite different plan. With more hills and stones than nearby Bolgheri, this land appeared to be ideally suited to produce a new and different wine. In 2001 Lodovico and his brother, Piero, established Tenuta di Biserno as an elite wine estate.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cem\u003eClick \u003ca rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/youtu.be\/gNlufHLTih4\" target=\"_blank\"\u003ehere\u003c\/a\u003e to watch our YouTube video about this wine!\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eWinemakers\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/span\u003eLodovico \u0026amp; Piero Antinori\u003cspan style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eGrape \/ Blend\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e31% Syrah, 17% Merlot, 7% Cabernet Sauvignon, 9% Petit Verdot, 1% Cabernet Franc and 35% Syrah, Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon, Petit Verdot and Cabernet Franc Blend\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eOrigin\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/span\u003eTuscany, Italy\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWinemaker's Tasting Notes\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eFrom the end of winter to mid-August, the 2022 season was dry and warm compared to average, peppered with rain between April and May. The low rainfall warded off the risk of fungal diseases, contributing to the development of healthy, high-quality grapes despite a slight reduction in yields. The situation was stable until August, which brought unexpected rainfall that was particularly beneficial to the later ripening varieties, Petit Verdot, Cabernet Franc and Cabernet Sauvignon. Thanks to the careful supervision of the teams, the plants did not suffer any water-related stress. The 2022 harvest began towards the end of August when the Syrah and Merlot grapes were picked, strictly during the coolest hours of the day. It continued with the Petit Verdot in mid-September and was completed before the end of the month with the Cabernet Franc and Cabernet Sauvignon.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"UTF-8\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe wine is a brilliant, deep purplish red, with violet hues. The bouquet offers a complex array of aromas: from fruity, attributable to cherry and sour cherry, to elegant and well-integrated peppery and boisée spices, closing with nuances of rosemary and myrtle, typical of the Mediterranean maquis. The entry onto the palate is fresh and vibrant, thanks to a nice acidity that sustains the mouthfeel. Fragrant, with a juiciness characterized by red fruits. Well-rounded tannins are present in the finish which closes with outstanding persistence.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"pipProfessionalReviews_list\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"pipProfessionalReviews_rating\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"pipProfessionalReviews_list\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"pipProfessionalReviews_rating\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan class=\"wineRatings_rating\"\u003e93 Points - James Suckling\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"pipProfessionalReviews_rating\"\u003e\n\u003cmeta charset=\"UTF-8\"\u003e \u003cspan\u003eA medium-to full-bodied red with layers of blackberries, blueberries, sandalwood, dried geranium and licorice.

It opens to a bright ruby color and offers dried raspberry, cherry and wild plum. This wine is all about primary fruit intensity, and if fruity freshness is what you're looking for, you get it here in spades. However with time, a hint of musky animal or leather does also appear, and a near-term drinking window is a safe bet. Pair this simple Tuscan red with a wood oven pizza margherita.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003eProduct size: 750ml\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Regal Wine Co","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50130354864433,"sku":null,"price":31.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0275\/0441\/0666\/files\/TenutadiBiserno_CampodiSasso_InsogliodelCinghiale_Tuscany_Italy_2022.jpg?v=1728581903","url":"https:\/\/marchantofwine.com\/products\/tenuta-di-biserno-campo-di-sasso-insoglio-del-cinghiale-tuscany-italy-2022","provider":"Merchant of Wine","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
