Castello di Bossi is located in the southern half of the Chianti Classico production zone, in the Comune of Castelnuovo Berardenga.
The first tower, built in the 1090, shows the area’s wearily strategic importance. In the 1450 the original structure was expanded into the 4 walled fortress visitors can see today. Castello di Bossi estate extends over 500 hectares, 120 of which are under vine. The average elevation of the vineyards is about 350 metres above sea level, while their exposure varies from southeast to west. The Sangiovese tends to be fuller and more highly structured than the ones of the rest of the Chianti Classico thanks to the mild climate of the area. The Cabernet and Merlot where planted about 40 years ago and probably are some of the oldest vines of this varietals planted in the Chianti Classico. The predominant soils are tuffs, yellow clays, calcareous sands and broken stones.
A striking pink core with crystalline transparency. The nose opens with floral notes of violet, then hints of cherries and strawberries. Refreshing notes of aromatic herbs, such as mint and lemon verbena are the finishing touch and make this wine fresh-tasting and inviting. Warm, well-balanced and pleasantly dense. Long, vibrant, joyous finish.

Characterized by a lovely purple color with vibrant reflections. Well-defined aromas, predominantly of fruit, such as cherry and berries, enriched by pleasant spicy notes and hints of aromatic herbs. Well-balanced on the palate with an alcoholic component that blends in nicely with the soft tannins, enlivened by a distinct acidity. Drinkable finish.
Great color. A shiny, very-intense purple. Broad variety of aromas with hints of mint blended with spices then prune and berries. Creamy on the palate with a solid body and soft, pleasant, well-distributed tannins. The acidity is well-balanced with the alcoholic component.
Bright ruby red color, definitely dense. Broad, fruity bouquet with distinct notes of cherry and prune accompanied by sweet notes of red fruits, such as currants. Hints of nutmeg and cloves in the finish. Smooth on the palate thanks to soft, well-distributed tannins. Good balance between alcohol and acidity with a long, enjoyable and appetizing finish.
Dense, glossy purple color. Great visual impact. The nose first picks up the spicy notes of cinnamon and cloves, leaving fruits such as currants the task of enhancing a complex bouquet exalted by oaky notes. The good tannic fabric is impressive. Balanced entry and acidic component balanced by a solid, but not aggressive, body. Lovely, long finish with pleasant, fresh notes.
A highly-intense ruby color with an enviable shine. Impressively complex nose with a bouquet that ranges from licorice and quina to balsamic notes, and with spicy hints of prune and cherry. Definitely pleasant. Silky on the palate, dense without being too concentrated, and with wonderfully-balanced alcohol and acidity. A crescendo of flavors in the lovely, long finish.
Classic with its luminous, amber color. On the nose, the notes of dry figs and dry prunes open to those of almonds and hazelnuts, followed by tamarind and ending with the spicy hints of cloves and cinnamon. Mouth-filling palate. Creamy but not sugary, because vibrant and fresh-tasting. Very long finish with a fruity aftertaste.

Tasting notes
The colour is an intense green, with beautiful tonality. On the nose it expresses a strong fruity, very fresh fragrance, accompanied by a more nuanced sensation of vegetables, where the aroma of artichoke stands out. In the mouth it is enveloping but elegant, with a spicy aftertaste of medium intensity, persistent and pleasant.
