Tasting notes
Lastly comes the 2021 Biserno, which has a saturated purple/magenta color and is luxurious and layered with aromas of black plum, polished leather, vanilla bean, pencil lead, and lavender. Fleshy and full, it’s round and supple, with velvety tannins, seamless acidity, and a long, graceful finish. It’s a fantastic wine in this vintage from Tenuta di Biserno to stash away in the cellar, but boy, does it have a lot of immediate pleasure upfront. Bravo. Drink 2027-2050.

A blend of Cabernet Franc, Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon and a small part Petit Verdot from Bibbona on the Tuscan Coast, the Tenuta di Biserno 2021 Biserno is heavy on the Cabernet side of the spectrum, with rosemary and lavender that give the wine a very Mediterranean personality. Beyond that, there is black fruit, spice and campfire ash. This is a thick and richly concentrated wine with a lovely sense of balance and power. It finishes long and rich. There is a hint of spicy black pepper on the close.
The fresh herbs such as basil and thyme are attractive coupled with currants and blackberries on the nose. Full-bodied with lots of fruit and velvety tannins showing an opulence and Super Tuscan intensity. It needs three to five years to come together. Try after 2027.
