Tasting note
Tenuta di Biserno's exact 2022 sheet describes Il Pino di Biserno as bright, deep ruby red. It names dark fruit, spice, Mediterranean maquis, and a slightly toasted background from barrique aging. The palate is described as full, enveloping, fresh, lively in structure, and pleasantly balanced in tannin, with notable persistence and potential for evolution. The source lists a blend led by Cabernet Franc, followed by Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot, with a minimal quantity of Petit Verdot. It reports that 75% matures in new and used French-oak barriques for 12 months, while the remainder matures in steel.

The 2022 vintage
Tenuta di Biserno says the 2022 season was dry and warm from late winter to mid-August, with rain between April and May. The exact sheet says low rainfall reduced fungal-disease risk and supported healthy, high-quality grapes despite a slight yield reduction. It reports stable conditions until unexpected August rain benefited the later-ripening Cabernet Franc, Petit Verdot, and Cabernet Sauvignon grapes and helped avoid plant stress. The source says hand harvest began with Merlot near the end of August, continued with Cabernet Franc in mid-September, and finished with Petit Verdot and Cabernet Sauvignon at month end.
