Tenuta di Biserno Il Pino Magnum 2024

Il Pino di Biserno comes from the hills of Bibbona, just north of Bolgheri and outside the DOC. Cabernet Franc leads the blend, joined by Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and a little Petit Verdot. In magnum the wine matures more slowly and evenly than in the standard bottle, and 1.5 litres belong on a table with company around it. Fermentation runs three to four weeks in steel, then 85% of the wine spends twelve months in French barriques, new and used, the rest in tank. The nose brings dark fruit, blueberry and cassis, with Mediterranean herbs, eucalyptus and a fine toasty note. Full and velvety on the palate, ripe tannins, a long fresh finish.
