2019 Lodovico, Magnum

Tasting notes:

Sourced from ‘Vigna Lodovico', this is the prestige cuvee of the estate. Aged for 16 months in oak barrel (80% new). Intense aromas on the nose with fresh notes of ripe red fruit, alongside scents of brushwood. Full-bodied with smooth and velvety tannins. Enticing texture and luscious fruit character yet very balanced and refined and a savoury and persistent finish. Only produced in exceptional years.

Producer description:

Tenuta di Biserno is located in the heart of the Bibbona hills on the coastal area of the Upper Maremma, Tuscany. Founded by Marchese Lodovico Antinori, the creator of Masseto and Ornellaia, the reds are exclusively made from Bordeaux grape varieties: Cabernet Franc, Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon, and Petit Verdot. This unique 35 hectares sit on a complex soil of silt and alluvial sand and has a high percentage of clay. The vines benefit from optimal sun exposure with abundant light, cool down with sea breezes. Meticulous care takes place in the vineyard so minimal intervention is needed.
