Castello Di Bossi Gran Selezione Chianti Classico

Castello Di Bossi Gran Selezione Chianti Classico

Vintage: 2019
Description: Castello di Bossi's wines from the warm southern part of Castelnuovo Berardenga are broad, while balancing finesse and power on the palate. Aromatic and layered, the mix of dark- and red-fruited tones are juxtaposed with a fine, grainy grip and veins of vibrant acidity that create sapid, mineral sensations. This imbues the wines from this part of Chianti Classico touch of intriguing austerity. Let this sit in the decanter for an hour, though this will show its true glory with bottle age (try it 8-10 years from vintage). Castello di Bossi judiciously uses larger barrels for the 2-year aging of the Gran Selezionem allowing more purity of fruit to come through. #11 Wine Spectator Top Wine 2023, 96 Points - "Theres purity to the cherry, strawberry, rose, mineral and herb aromas and flavors in this solidly built red, which shows excellent balance and length. The muscular finish begs for more time for the beautiful fruit to assimilate. 1,700 cases made, 800 cases imported.". Wine Advocate 94 Points - "You drive through a postcard-perfect panorama of cypress-lined roads and sun-lit farmhouses as you approach the tiny hamlet of Bossi on the southern side of the appellation. The organic Castello di Bossi 2019 Chianti Classico Gran Selezione reveals a dark core of black fruit that is surrounded by flinty mineral, spice and black licorice. This wine should become even silkier and softer with more bottle age."
