Il Pino di Biserno IGT

The vines grow near Bibbona on partly clay-rich soils and partly Bolgheri conglomerate; the cordon-trained vines are planted at 6.500 plants per hectare. After rigorous selection, the grapes ferment for three to four weeks in conical stainless-steel tanks at 28 °C. Malolactic fermentation takes place 25 % in barriques, with the remainder in stainless steel. The wine then matures for twelve months in new and second-use French barriques, while ten percent remains in stainless steel, followed by at least six months of bottle ageing. The vintage shows dark fruit, coffee, cloves and undergrowth, with a full body, dense, elegant tannins and a long finish.
