Lodovico Antinori first visited Tenuta di Biserno in 1994, when he considered incorporating it into his Bolgheri estate, Ornellaia. However, the geological character of the vineyards was so distinct, that he elected to make Tenuta di Biserno a stand alone project. After selling Tenuta di Ornellaia in 2002, Lodovico teamed up with his brother Piero and the landowner Umberto Mannoni in order to extablish Tenuta di Biserno.
Each brother brings his many years of experience to Tenuta di Biserno, making this a truly unique project. Both have the natural gift of being able to interpret each piece of vineyard, matching it with the ideal grape varieties and growing techniques. The pedigree and success of each brother is borne out by each having made a wine that has won the Wine Spectator's Best Wine of the Year: Piero for his Solaia 1997 and Lodovico for his Ornellaia 1998.
