Tenuta di Biserno Occhione 2024
Tenuta di Biserno Occhione is a rare and elegant white wine produced in the Bibbona commune of the Upper Maremma region in Tuscany, Italy. Established in 2001, Tenuta di Biserno is a high-profile project founded by brothers Piero and Lodovico Antinori, along with their nephew Niccolò Marzichi Lenzi. The wine is named after the 'Occhione' (Eurasian stone-curlew), a protected species of water bird that nests in the dunes of nearby Marina di Bibbona. The estate's winemaking philosophy centers on expressing the unique maritime terroir of Bibbona, which features diverse alluvial and volcanic soils rich in sand and clay.
Wine Description
Occhione is the only white wine produced by the estate and is made in small quantities, primarily from grapes grown at Tenuta Campo di Sasso. It presents a brilliant straw yellow hue with greenish highlights. The sensory profile is characterized by a lively nose of pink grapefruit, lemon, and lime, interwoven with notes of tropical fruit, white flowers, and aromatic herbs. On the palate, the wine is delicate yet decisive, offering a soft, enveloping entry that evolves into a savory, mineral-driven mid-palate with a hint of varietal bitterness. The finish is fresh, vibrant, and citrusy.
