{"product_id":"2020-tenuta-di-biserno-lodovico-magnum","title":"2020 Tenuta di Biserno Lodovico Magnum","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe 2020 Tenuta di Biserno Lodovico Magnum is a commanding expression of coastal Tuscan elegance, presented in the cellar‑worthy 1.5L format. Crafted in very limited quantities, Lodovico is the flagship cuvée of Tenuta di Biserno and one of the most sought‑after Bordeaux‑style reds from Italy. Named after Lodovico Antinori, it continues the family’s legacy of elevating the Maremma coast to world‑class status.\n\nThis wine stands out for its intense Cabernet Franc core, supported by Merlot (and a touch of Petit Verdot in some vintages), delivering both power and precision. The 2020 vintage in Tuscany produced wines of depth, purity and freshness, making this Lodovico particularly compelling for collectors and enthusiasts looking for long‑term development in the cellar.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTasting Notes\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn the glass, the 2020 Lodovico shows a deep, opaque ruby with violet hues at the rim, hinting at both concentration and youth. The nose is layered and complex: ripe blackcurrant, blackberry and dark plum are interwoven with notes of graphite, cedar, tobacco leaf and sweet spices, alongside hints of violets, cocoa and a subtle coastal salinity.\n\nOn the palate, the wine is full‑bodied yet finely sculpted, with a core of dark fruit framed by vibrant acidity and impressively polished tannins. Flavors of black cherry, cassis and wild berries unfold into nuances of mocha, pencil shavings, licorice and dried herbs. The finish is long, persistent and savory, with mineral undertones that speak clearly of its coastal terroir. In magnum, the 2020 Lodovico has excellent aging potential: it will reward patience over 15–25 years, gaining further complexity, harmony and textural richness with time.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eProduction\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eTenuta di Biserno lies near Bibbona on the Tuscan coast, just north of Bolgheri, where maritime breezes, abundant sunshine and well‑draining soils of clay, sand and rocky alluvium create ideal conditions for Bordeaux varieties. The Lodovico parcels are among the estate’s most carefully tended vineyards, with low yields and meticulous canopy management to ensure optimal ripeness and natural concentration. Grapes are harvested by hand, parcel by parcel, to capture each block at perfect maturity. In the cellar, the varieties are vinified separately in temperature‑controlled vats, followed by an extended maceration to extract color, aroma and fine tannins. The wine is then aged in French oak barriques, a significant portion of which are new, allowing Lodovico to gain structure, aromatic complexity and age‑worthy depth without overwhelming its sense of place.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFood \u0026amp; Serving\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis is a gastronomic wine that shines with refined dishes: think dry‑aged bistecca alla fiorentina, slow‑braised beef or lamb shank, venison with juniper, truffle‑infused dishes, rich ragù, or mature hard cheeses like aged Pecorino or Parmigiano Reggiano. Serve the 2020 Lodovico at around 16–18°C to highlight its freshness and nuance. Given its youth and structure, decanting is strongly recommended—60–90 minutes will help the wine open up aromatically and soften the tannins; for long‑term cellared bottles in future decades, a shorter decant will be sufficient to awaken the wine without losing delicate tertiary notes.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eProducer\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eTenuta di Biserno was founded by Lodovico Antinori, the visionary behind Tenuta dell’Ornellaia, together with his brother Piero Antinori and Bordeaux consultant Michel Rolland. Conceived as a distinct project in the Upper Maremma, Biserno focuses primarily on Cabernet Franc–driven blends that showcase the coastal Tuscan terroir in a refined, Bordelais key. Over a relatively short time, the estate has earned a reputation as one of Tuscany’s top addresses for modern, world‑class reds, with Lodovico standing at the pinnacle of the range. Regularly garnering high scores from international critics and collectors alike, Tenuta di Biserno has cemented its place among the elite producers of the region while maintaining a strong sense of identity rooted in its unique coastal vineyards.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Tenuta di Biserno","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54251902107985,"sku":"GCW-MMUI-20110254","price":795.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0874\/0614\/9969\/files\/2015_Tenuta_di_Biserno_Lodovico_1_1.png?v=1783442202","url":"https:\/\/bottlehero.com\/products\/2020-tenuta-di-biserno-lodovico-magnum","provider":"Bottle Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
