Insoglio del Cinghiale Toscana IGT 2024
Trade Tools
Italy / Tuscany
This is Tenuta di Biserno's founding wine. The label depicts a wild boar (cinghiale) and the name “Insoglio” is the place where the wild boar goes to root and roll. The cinghiale is an expression of the soul and culture of the Maremma. Insoglio di Cinghiale is richly fruity, exquisitely structured, and its strong territorial character offers smooth drinkability and extreme versatility.

2024 vintage
Harvest Note
The 2024 vintage brought early budding and a wet spring that slowed ripening but built water reserves. Variable late-summer weather led to a cooler harvest, preserving freshness. Early varieties thrived, while later ones ripened slowly, adding complexity. A surprising, discovery-filled vintage.
Tasting Note
Intense and lively purple red with violet reflections. Violet, berries and light peppery spice. Enveloping, fresh and medium-bodied, with well-smoothed tannins.

About the Grape
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.
Syrah
Syrah has seductively dense, rich, chewy black berry aromas and flavors, with notes of tar, wood smoke, bacon, leather, chocolate, and sometimes violets. The tannins are firm yet elegant.
