Bossi is located in the Castelnuovo Berardenga subzone. This is the southernmost appellation of Chianti Classico – the heart and soul of the much broader Chianti region. Temperatures are a few degrees warmer, and the soils are slightly richer, resulting in dark, powerful Sangiovese. (For those Chianti lovers, this is the same subzone as Felsina’s famed Rancia vineyard.)
This Berardo more than lives up to the reputation, exploding from the glass with dark aromas of cherries and plums before giving way to an intense wine, loaded with flavors of the same, joined by classic Chianti notes of violets, wild herbs and black tea. The acidity is more than ample to balance out the richness, coupling with fine, firm tannins to deliver a complete picture. Kind of looks something like this…
Sigh… grab a bottle, close your eyes, and live the Tuscan lifestyle!
James Suckling: 97 Points
Very perfumed with flowers and sandalwood. Medium- to full-bodied with very fine tannins that are so long and intense. This will compete with top Brunellos. Linear and driven at the end.
Wine Advocate: 92 Points
Opening to medium-dark concentration, the organic Castello di Bossi 2020 Chianti Classico Riserva Berardo offers a velvet-like texture with substantial aromas of dark plum and sweet cherry and moderate tones of earth and spice that are expertly woven within the wine's fine texture. This Riserva offers good tannic structure with fine, powdery sensations to close.
