A soft and round textured red with blueberry, walnut and black tea character. Some lead pencil. Medium body, fresh finish. Luscious finish. A blend of cabernet franc, merlot and cabernet sauvignon. Drink or hold.

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate
The 2013 Il Pino di Biserno is a gorgeous wine with a force of energy and liveliness that is uncommon to see in a wine of this extract and sophistication. Dark fruit tones of blackberry, plum and dried cherry are immediately followed by spice, leather and tobacco. The effect is soothing, intense and compelling. This is a beautiful wine from a classic vintage, but the tannins are definitely on the young side. It needs a minimum of three to five more years of cellar aging in order to show the splendor that this wine holds within.

The 2013 Tenuta di Biserno shows the importance and omnipresence of the Bordeaux red blend—Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Cabernet Franc, Petit Verdot, and now Malbec. This wine—a mix of 40% Cabernet Franc, 35% Cabernet Sauvignon, 20% Merlot, and 5% Petit Verdot—is formidable and firm, with refined sweet tannins. Flavors of dust, herbs, and black currants make this wine a beautiful choice with rib-eye of beef. Drinks nicely now. (Tasted: September 12, 2016, San Francisco, CA)

Wine Spectator
Aromatic, boasting cherry, wild thyme, rosemary, sage, licorice and spice notes. This is backed by a firm spine, but the fruit is sweet and the aftertaste long. Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon, Petit Verdot and Cabernet Franc. Best from 2018 through 2029.

"One of the big developments is the release of two vintages of a new wine from Tenuta di Biserno. Biserno is the new family-owned winery of brothers Piero and Lodovico Antinori, located just outside the appellation of Bolgheri…
I find the style of the property's wines already to be a fascinating combination of Ornellaia's and Sassicaia's, emphasizing the generosity of the former and the firmness and backbone of the latter."

Legendary in Italy for its Renaissance art and striking landscape, Tuscany is also home to many of the country’s best red wines. Sangiovese reigns supreme here, as either the single varietal, or a dominant player, in almost all of Tuscany’s best.
A remarkable Chianti, named for its region of origin, will have a bright acidity, supple tannins and plenty of cherry fruit character. From the hills and valleys surrounding the medieval village of Montalcino, come the distinguished and age-worthy wines based on Brunello (Sangiovese). Earning global acclaim since the 1970s, the Tuscan Blends are composed solely of international grape varieties or a mix of international and Sangiovese. The wine called Vine Nobile di Montepulciano, composed of Prognolo Gentile (Sangiovese) and is recognized both for finesse and power.
