2020 Lodovico

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 a 35ha estate located in the heart of the Bibbona hills on the coastal area of the Upper Maremma. Founded by Marchese Lodovico Antinori, the creator of Masseto and Ornellaia, the wines are exclusively made from international grape varieties. Lodovico identified a high percentage of clay in the soil that immediately inspired him to plant Cabernet Franc, a major difference from Bolgheri and a long-term varietal to dominate in hotter climates. Helped by old friend and successful Bordeaux oenologist Michel Rolland, Lodovico has created a new Tuscan legend and named it after himself.
