Sourced from nine separate parcels at the highest points of the Bellaria vineyards, next to Lodovico between Bolgheri and Bibbona. A touch of Merlot may be added, depending on the vintage. Aged for 16 months in oak barrel (80% new). Aromas of blackberry, dried plum, spice and rosemary alongside cedar notes. Full-bodied and structured with sweet tannins. Only 2,000 bottles are produced.

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.

Here's an exciting new project from a celebrated name in Italian wine. Created by Lodovico Antinori and his daughter Sophia, the Tenuta del Nicchio 2021 Il Nicchio is a blend of Cabernet Franc and Merlot presented in a heavy glass bottle. The wine is saturated and rich with a big textural footprint that is reinforced by blackberry, dried plum, spice and rosemary essence. There are earthy tones, tobacco and cured leather over a full-bodied mouthfeel with rich texture and sweet tannins.
