Chianti Classico ‘Berardo’ Castello di Bossi is made from Sangiovese and aged in lightly toasted French oak for 15 months to give a wine that is powerful and elegant. The fruit is dominated by dark cherry and damson notes along with a wonderful minty almost eucalyptus note along with smoke and leather aromas. It is a wine that evolves and develops in the glass and is world class.
Castello di Bossi, owned by the colourful Marco Bacci, is one of Tuscany’s leading wine estates. Marco has invested heavily, not just financially but with his time and attention to detail in all aspects of the winery and the results really show in the wines. The estate is located in the southern half of the Chianti Classico zone, in the commune of Castelnuovo Berardenga, where the mild climate helps produce highly structured wines. Marco has some lovely older vineyards of Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon, planted over 40 years ago, which provide the grapes for the superb Super Tuscans he produces.
