Colle Mezzano di Biserno 2021 (750ML)

94 Points, Antonio Galloni, Vinous: “The 2021 Colle Mezzano di Biserno is a new wine in the range from a vineyard in Cecina, about 15 kilometers north of the estate. Aromatic, racy and super-refined, the Colle Mezzano is wonderfully expressive. Cabernet Franc and Sauvignon aromatics and silky tannins announce a wine of total refinement and class. This new chapter for Biserno is hugely promising… I was deeply impressed with these wines from Biserno. The new Cabernet Franc Colle Mezzano di Biserno is quite promising. Niccolò Marzichi Lenzi now runs the estate following the exit of his uncle, founder Lodovico Antinori. Lenzi has brought a new feeling of youthful energy to his family’s estate, along with a contemporary approach that results in wines with a bit more vibrancy than those from the Lodovico Antinori era. The entry-level Insoglio del Cinghiale remains one of my favorite wines in its peer group. After a few quiet years during the generational transition, Biserno is once again an estate to watch closely…” 02/25

95 Points, James Suckling, jamessuckling.com: “A sleek and pretty new wine from one of the owners of Biserno. Medium body with very integrated tannins and aromas and flavors of graphite, lead pencil and blackcurrants, in a reserved and minerally way. Hints of fresh herbs underneath. Energetic finish. A blend of 80% cabernet sauvignon, 8% cabernet franc, 8% merlot and 4% petit verdot. Drink in two or three years…” 07/24
