Tenuta di Biserno’s Biserno 2023 is the estate’s flagship red from Bibbona on Tuscany’s coast, just north of Bolgheri in the Alta Maremma. Founded in 2001 by brothers Lodovico and Piero Antinori, Biserno has built its reputation on “Bordeaux-style” blends—international varieties interpreted through a distinctly Tuscan, maritime setting. The 2023 Biserno is labeled Toscana IGT and is made from Cabernet Franc, Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon, and Petit Verdot sourced from the estate’s own vineyards.
Critical coverage for this young vintage is still limited, but it has already drawn an excellent review from Jane Anson, who rated it 95 points (janeanson.com). Anson’s note is especially direct about the wine’s defining theme: terroir. She calls it “Tuscany in a bottle and yet entirely Bordeaux varieties,” adding that it is “such a lovely wine for highlighting the impact of place.” That comment neatly summarizes what Biserno aims to do at the top level: deliver the structure and aromatic profile of a classic Bordelais-inspired blend while remaining anchored in coastal Tuscany’s light, warmth, and seasoning.
Anson’s tasting note points to a savory-leaning profile with clarity and breadth rather than simple ripeness. She describes “a fist of dried herbs, underbrush, grilled earth” alongside “berry fruits,” and even “sunshine,” suggesting both herbal complexity and a ripe, open-knit fruit core. Those cues align with the producer’s own positioning of Biserno as its “iconic and most prized” cuvée, built for “finesse and complexity” and a notably persistent finish.
Winemaking details for the 2023 (such as élevage, alcohol, and production volume) are not widely published at this stage. Still, based on the early critical impression, Biserno 2023 looks set to be a polished, site-driven Super Tuscan blend with pronounced herbal and earthy character layered over ripe berry fruit. Anson also notes the team behind it, citing director Niccolò Marzichi Lenzi and winemaker Orsini Ranieri.
