Tenuta di Biserno

The project began in 2001 with the passion of brothers Lodovico and Piero Antinori, with their nephew Niccolo’ Marzichi Lenzi and shareholder Umberto Mannoni. They decided to bring this territory to life and forge the history of Tenuta di Biserno and Tenuta Campo di Sasso.

Located in the municipality of Bibbona in Upper Maremma, on the edge of the historic village of Bolgheri to the north, the exceptional terroir, the unique soil of the Bolgheri conglomerate, the natural conditions, the exposure to the wind and the microclimate combine to allow the growth of vines of unquestionable quality, which in turn produce unique, authentic and distinctive wines.

The Tenuta di Biserno estate extends over more than 40 hectares and is located 90 meters above sea level.  The soils are very stony, they are mainly alluvial, with some clay-limestone, rich in calcium carbonate. The vines are cultivated mainly with Cabernet Franc, Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon and Petit Verdot.  The combination of the maritime influence of the neighboring Mediterranean and the different aspects between the vineyards gives rise to the two distinct production styles of Biserno and Il Pino di Biserno.

Tenuta Campo di Sasso, for its part, extends over more than 56 hectares and is located at a lower altitude than the Biserno estate. The soil is sandier and, in terms of microclimate, it is warmer here during the summer months.  These conditions are perfect for growing Syrah and Vermentino, as well as the main Bordeaux grape varieties.  The wines produced in Campo di Sasso are Insoglio del Cinghiale and Occhione.
