Tenuta di Biserno – Insoglio del Cinghiale Toscana Igt – 2021
The estate’s founding wine, named for the numerous wild boars found in the Alta Maremma area, turns out to be among the most appreciated of the production for its territorial expression. Released in 2003 the first time it is a blend with all the grapes of the estate including Syrah, Merlot, Cabernet Franc and Cabernet Sauvignon each of which express their own peculiarities, they are vinified separately in steel tanks for 21 days, the aging is done in barrique for 4 months then stabilizes again in steel, before bottling the blending of the different plots is done following a strict balance. The result is the hoped-for one that reflects the minds that conceived it, aromas of underbrush and balsamic notes as the minutes pass while on the palate it manifests a rich freshness, beautiful softness and polished tannins.

Description
When one pronounces the names “Ornellaia” and “Masseto,” one refers to two Italian wines that have written the history of world oenology, all the work of the memorable, centuries-old, visionary Antinori family. Already the founder of Tenuta dell’Ornellaia, Lodovico Antinori decided in 2001 to write another chapter in his career by investing in the Bibbona area, north just outside the Bolgheri DOC, unknown for viticulture but with enormous potential. After climate checks and soil studies, it was deemed a suitable area for the cultivation of Bordeaux-style varietals, and so with the collaboration of his brother Piero and partner Umberto Mannoni, Tenuta di Biserno was born. Vines such as Cabernet Franc, Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and Petit Verdot were planted, taking advantage of the clay/limestone soils that enhance along with the sea breezes from the coast the concentration and aromaticity of the grapes, while not far away at a lower and more suitable altitude Syrah was also planted, building at the same time the second Campo di Sasso estate. The quality principles are still the same, precise harvests, lots of care of the vineyard without the use of chemicals with subsequent careful selection of the best bunches; in the cellar separate vinifications are carried out and the use of small barrels is used in aging, all supervised by the French oenologist Michel Rolland with whom they have been collaborating since 1991. A new challenge with great success with the aim of producing pleasant and recognizable wines that has already established itself on the international scene.
