PRODUCT OVERVIEW:
For proprietor and winemaker Marco Bacci, success is in the details, from vineyard to bottle. The entire Castello di Bossi portfolio of wines carefully balances the tradition and rich history of the region with innovative winemaking techniques; this Chianti Classico is no exception.
Made from 100% Sangiovese, grown in soils with high chalk content, this wine shows just how good this varietal can be. Deep, ruby-red in color, it offers aromas of ripe cherries and red plums, with subtle notes of toasted vanilla beans and purple flowers. On the palate, the wine displays a superbly structured character with bright acidity and a pleasantly savory finish. (winemaker notes)

93 points, James Suckling:
"A layered and juicy red with currant, cedar, and some walnut character. It’s full and savory with lovely fruit and real Chianti Classico character in the undertones of mushrooms and bark."
91 points, Wine Enthusiast Magazine:
"Black cherries, figs, tar and a final herbaceous element that moves from sage to eucalyptus on the nose develop into a palate of more cherries with the essence of orange peel, with an overall buoyancy provided by easygoing tannins and a streak of acidity."
91 points, Decanter Magazine:
"Scents of warm berries are joined by tobacco, leather, and an intriguing earthiness. On the palate a pleasant tartness counters ripe, plump plum. It's a rather chewy mouthful with lots of sandy tannins; very evocative of the southern stretch of Castelnuovo Berardenga."
