Biserno 2023
Trade Tools
Italy / Tuscany
Biserno is the flagship wine, and eponymous symbol of the estate, Tenuta di Biserno. Born as a classic Bordeaux blend, its grapes come from vineyards perfectly suited to creating Biserno’s distinctive, individual style. The resulting wine has a remarkable combination of characteristics, which together create a rare blend of finesse, elegance, complexity, weight, intensity, length and freshness.
Harvest Note
The 2023 harvest was shaped by a variable season, with a wet spring followed by a warm, dry summer that required attentive vineyard management. Timely late-season conditions supported balanced ripening and healthy fruit development across key varieties. The wines show freshness, vibrant aromatics, and a harmonious structure with refined tannins.
Tasting Note
Deep ruby red in color, with a bouquet that features intriguing notes of ripe red fruit, accompanied by scents of brushwood. Full-bodied, vibrant upon entry, it floods the palate with its dense and elegant tannic texture, closing with a persistent and beautifully crisp finish.

About the Grape
Cabernet Franc
Cabernet Franc usually shows tart red cherry and wild currant aromas and flavors with an herbal, spicy character. In the Loire, esp. Chinon and Saumur-Champigny, this grape shows firm minerality.
Cabernet Sauvignon
Cabernet Sauvignon is adaptable to various growing conditions, and is known for its low yield and late ripeness. It generally produces full-bodied wines with substantial acidity and tannins.
Merlot
Merlot makes plump, succulent wines to drink young or opulently massive wines for aging. Has silky, blackberry and currant fruit, with spice, earth, tobacco and chocolate notes, and soft tannins.
Petit Verdot
Petit Verdot makes a dark, firmly structured, tannic wine with superbly balancing acidity, and fresh, full flavors and aromas of spice, pepper and black fruits with notes of violets.
