Tasting Notes

A careful blend of Cabernet Franc, Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and Petit Verdot, Il Pino di Biserno is the second wine of the Biserno estate. The first vintage released was the 2004 and with every successive vintage the wine has improved dramatically.
Il Pino di Biserno represents the unique terroir of Bibbona. The special blend of grapes (40% Cabernet Franc, 35% Cabernet Sauvignon, 20% Merlot and 5% Petit Verdot) makes Il Pino a classic wine of the Upper Maremma. Although produced from grapes from young vineyards, the wine is distinguished by its balance and finesse. Il Pino demonstrates the character as well as the potential of Tenuta di Biserno.
75% of the wine is aged for 12 months in new and second-use French oak barriques; the remaining is aged in stainless steel vats. The wine is aged for another 6 months in bottles before release.
Rich plum-ruby, this has an enticing, intriguing nose, violets, ripe cherries and red and black fruit confit complemented by coffee notes, all enhanced by delicate hints of citrus. The palate echoes the aromatics presented by the nose, adding a refreshing spiced character, all set within an opulent, silky and rather decadent texture. It is extraordinary to have such intensity from such young vines and there is such elegance there too, a focus borne of a refined minerality. Il Pino di Biserno will age well for at least eight to twelve years but, as with all our Biserno wines, Il Pino has extraordinary early drinkability. Il Pino can be enjoyed with roast meats, particularly beef, whether it be filet de sirloin or Tuscan T-Bone.


Critical Praise

90 points - Monica Larner - eRobertParker.com #215, Oct 2014
The 2011 Il Pino di Biserno embodies the heat of the vintage with ripe fruit tones, blackberry preserves, cherry cola and loads of luscious dark spice. The 2010 vintage has more focus and balance, but this warmer rendition offers its own appeal. The wine is more suited to near-term consumption thanks to its soft tannins and fruit-forward personality. The blend is 50% Cabernet Sauvignon, 30% Merlot, 12% Petit Verdot and 8% Cabernet Sauvignon. Some 80% of the wine is aged in French barrique for 12 months.
