Insoglio is the base wine in the production pyramid of Tenute di Biserno. It is made from the grapes of young vineyards on the estates of Vigna Fonti Intarlate, Vigna San Giovanni and Vigna Le Vallette. The wine is a blend of Cabernet Franc, Merlot and Syrah variety. Grape juice was fermented in stainless steel containers at a controlled temperature, and 50% of the wine was later aged in oak barrique barrels for about 6 months. It is an intense ruby red color with purple hues. The scent is intensely fruity with a hint of spiciness.
A dream come true. In 1994, while looking for additional land to expand his Tenuta dell’Ornellaia vineyard, Lodovico Antinori discovered the property of Tenuta di Biserno near Bibbona. What he found, however, had so much potential that he was inspired to develop a quite different plan; with more hills and stones than nearby Bolgheri, this land appeared to be ideally suited to produce a new and different wine! “It’s a magical place with wonderful soil and micro–climate, very similar to that of Bolgheri.” The experts confirmed his appraisal – Tenuta di Biserno is a perfect terroir – and so, for the first time in more than two decades, Lodovico and Piero Antinori decided to start a new winery together.
