THE PINE OF BISERNO<br />2020<br />TUSCAN IGT RED<br />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,<br />distinguished by its excellent balance and timeless elegance. It shares an identity with its alter-ego, the Biserno.<br />INDICATIVE PERCENTAGE: Cabernet Franc 23%, Merlot 38%, Cabernet Sauvignon 22%, Petit Verdot 17%.<br />SOIL TYPE: Partly clayey, partly Bolgheri conglomerate.<br />GROWTH: The planting system is spurred cordon with a density of 6,500 vines/ha.<br />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<br />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<br />be considered a good year.<br />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<br />Petit Verdot harvest in the first week of October.<br />VINIFICATION: The grapes were carefully selected on the vibrating belt in the cellar. Destemming and soft crushing; alcoholic fermentation in truncated conical steel tanks<br />for 3-4 weeks at 28°, malolactic fermentation in barriques for 25% of the mass, the remainder in steel.<br />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.<br />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<br />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.<br />ALCOHOL: 14.5%<br />TOTAL ACIDITY: 5.0 G/L<br />PH: 3.67<br />
