Il Pino di Biserno 750 ml 2020

THE PINE OF BISERNO
2020
TUSCAN IGT RED
It is the purest and most direct expression of Bibbona's unique terroir. The special flavour of the grape makes Pino di Biserno a classic with an intriguing aroma,
distinguished by its excellent balance and timeless elegance. It shares an identity with its alter-ego, the Biserno.
INDICATIVE PERCENTAGE: Cabernet Franc 23%, Merlot 38%, Cabernet Sauvignon 22%, Petit Verdot 17%.
SOIL TYPE: Partly clayey, partly Bolgheri conglomerate.
GROWTH: The planting system is spurred cordon with a density of 6,500 vines/ha.
CLIMATE CONDITIONS: a moderate vintage with more consistent rainfall in the spring months that made temperatures a little cooler than average. Then the heat arrived in
early June bringing with it flowering, albeit with a slight delay. The summer recorded average temperatures with a good temperature difference between day and night. It can
be considered a good year.
HARVEST: Harvest began in the second week of September with the Merlot harvest, then continued with the Cabernet Franc and ended with the Cabernet Sauvignon and
Petit Verdot harvest in the first week of October.
VINIFICATION: The grapes were carefully selected on the vibrating belt in the cellar. Destemming and soft crushing; alcoholic fermentation in truncated conical steel tanks
for 3-4 weeks at 28°, malolactic fermentation in barriques for 25% of the mass, the remainder in steel.
AGING: The wine matures partly for 12 months in new and second-passage French oak barriques, the remaining 10% of the volume remains in steel.
TASTING NOTES: Ruby red in colour with purple reflections, on the nose it releases a complexity of aromas ranging from ripe red fruits to Mediterranean scrub and delicate
notes of tobacco and spices. On the palate it is soft, silky and tasty, calibrated in its dense and elegant tannic texture, long in the finish.
