Winery Notes:

Made with 100% organic Sangiovese, the Castello di Bossi 2020 Chianti Classico Gran Selezione Castelnuovo Berardenga is silky and fine. Although the overall fruit delivery certainly entails a good amount of power and concentration, the wine actually feels elegantly subtle on the palate. The fruit is nicely ripe, showing lots of cherry and dark plum, and the integrated tannins add firmness. Aging in large oak casks is in line with local tradition, and arguably what sets Castello di Bossi apart is the soil composition found here, with a mix of clay and tufo rock. Production is a happy 30,000 bottles.

A juicy and salty red with plums and cedar with light sawdust and hints of dried meat. Medium to full body. Savory. Nice tension at the end. Some chocolate powder. Drink now or hold.

The 2020 Chianti Classico Gran Selezione Castello di Bossi is gorgeous. Floral, lifted and quite expressive, the 2020 has a lot to offer. It marries the richness of this southern district with lovely aromatic presence and a good bit of brightness. It's a complete, deeply satisfying wine to drink now and over the next decade or so. The 2020 spent 24 months in 40- 5OHL casks, an approach that works so well here.
