Description
"Castello di Bossi is sitting with a full hand - all the elements to make some of Chianti Classico's best wine are in place." Robert Parker

Layered with morello cherry and toasty oak richness, Castello di Bossi's wines compete with the very best in the region. The estate is currently in the hands of the Bacci family whose single goal is uncompromising quality.

The name Bossi derives from the chest in which the wages of Roman centurions would be carried to their encampments. Documents show wine being made at the historic Castello di Bossi for over 800 years!

Vibrant ruby in colour. Rich and savoury with cherry, almond and creamy oak all vying for your attention. Gorgeous now, but ideal for keeping too.
