Continue Shopping Add to Wish List

Il Pino di Biserno reflects the unique terroir of Bibbona, a blend of grapes which truly reflects a classic Alta Maremma wine, clearly a younger sibling of the eponymous Biserno. This, through rigorous selection of young vine grapes, is a fine ambassador for this estate, vintage after vintage, offering a harmonious, seductive style, Accessible and early-drinking, Il Pino reveals the potential character, finesse and elegance, of the property. The blend of Il Pino di Biserno consists of: Cabernet Franc, Merlot, Petit Verdot and in some vintages Cabernet Sauvignon.

A very subtle but promising nose with dried lavender, conifer, dried herbs, nutmeg and even citrus. Full-bodied with ripe but tightly wound tannins that coat the mouth with dark and dried-fruit flavors. The acidity lifts this long through the finish, which is grainy and stony.

Il Pino is exuberantly lush in the warm 2015 vintage, bursting with flavors of black raspberry and wild plum edged in notes of cedar and cigar box. A blend of cabernet franc, merlot, cabernet sauvignon and petit verdot culled from the estate’s younger vines, it spends a year in a mix of new and second-use French oak barrels, gaining notes of exotic spice and toasted vanilla that intensify the wine’s plush character. Supple tannins make it accessible in youth, yet it’s capable of improving over the next several years.

This is ripe, with plum, pomegranate and spice flavors picking up an accent of coffee. A broad strip of tannins bisects the finish.
