Tenuta di Biserno - 'Lodovico'

Within the estate there is a very individual parcel, set apart, which was found to produce wines of a very particular, unique character and personality. Like Masseto in the past, Vigna Lodovico, provides the Biserno estate’s jewel in the crown.  Lodovico is an extraordinary wine, produced in tiny amounts and only in vintages where all the elements come together to create the very best possible translation of this site. The vineyard is managed, throughout the year, with passion and rigorous attention to detail. To date, the Marchese’s perfectionism has only allowed five vintages to be released, 2007, 2008, 2011, 2012 and 2013 averaging 6.000 bottles per vintage.

"Mostly Cabernet Franc with small quantities of Petit Verdot, the 2011 Lodovico is a monument to a man. This is the newest edition to Lodovico Antinori’s Biserno portfolio and the results are just as burly, extravagant and sophisticated as the man behind the bottle. This canvas is covered in large brush strokes of cigar ash, dark fruit, tobacco and dark chocolate. It sports very wide shoulders and a muscular build that is supported by a firming tannic structure. This wine should be put aside in your cellar for a decade or longer."
