If you’ve heard of Castello di Bossi, you probably have winemaker and entrepreneur Marco Bacci to thank. Since taking over the winery in 1998, the man behind Renieri and several other wineries throughout Tuscany, has pumped new life into the winery – thrusting it firmly into the Tuscan spotlight.
The property – a breathtaking estate in the heart of the beloved commune of Castelnuovo Berardenga is home to some of the most consistently outstanding wines throughout the lineup.. From the Chianti Classico, to the Gran Selezione, to their SuperTuscan ‘Corbaia’, these represent some of Tuscany’s finest winemaking examples.
Along with superstar consultant Alberto Antonini, the winery has matched big scores with the very best in Tuscany: Sassicaia, Ornellaia, Tignanello, you name it – which is why Monica Lerner, the Wine Advocate’s Chief Editor in Staff declared, “Castello di Bossi is a flagship producer from the Castelnuovo Berardenga sub zone in the southern part of the appellation.“
The 2019 vintage in Tuscany has been largely heralded, including by Italy’s major wine publication, The Brunello Consorzio which gave the vintage 5 stars, ranking it up there with 2010, 2015 and ’16. Vinous Media called out Chianti especially, writing “What impresses me most about the 2019s is their exceptional balance. The wines soar with aromatic intensity and show fine tannins with terrific depth, all with medium-bodied structure.”
Castello di Bossi’s 2019 Chianti Classico represents a particularly high note in a great year. Both James Suckling and the Wine Enthusiast awarded the wine 92-point scores, with the latter lobbing on a ‘Editors’ Choice’ designate and calling out the wine for its “savory, elegantly structured palate”. There really is so much to love about this wine.

92 Points (Editors’ Choice), Wine Enthusiast
Made with organically farmed Sangiovese, this medium-bodied red has aromas of forest floor, wild berries, camphor and new leather. The savory, elegantly structured palate doles out juicy black cherry, crushed raspberry and licorice as well as a cool smoky note that adds nuance
92 Points, James Suckling
Aromas of blueberries, plums, roasted meat and dried herbs. Medium-to full-bodied with firm tannins. Chewy and structured on the palate with chocolate notes on the flavorful finish. From organically grown grapes. Drink or hold.

#24 Wine of the Year (2022), Wine Spectator
92 Points, Wine Spectator – 91 Points, James Suckling
“This supple red shows a core of cherry and plum fruit allied to olive, juniper and tobacco notes. Delivers well-integrated tannins and acidic structure, lingering nicely on the finish.”
In the 2020 vintage in Gevrey-Chambertin, yields were super low and temperatures were hotter than most Burgundian winemakers are accustomed. Many picked too late when the sugars were high and the fruit really ripe, but that was not the play. Still, Ann remained as cool in those hot temps as she did so many years ago in Napa, concentrating more on acid levels than sugars and picking at just the right time. This wine is absolutely singing – it’s an age-worthy beauty that should be even better in 4-7 years.
#3 Wine Spectator Top 100 Wines of 2021
96 Points, Parker’s Wine Advocate – 95 Points, Wine Spectator
We are one of the very few folks who have Wine Spectator’s #3 Wine of the Year. This is definitely not one to miss. The 2016 vintage showcases this prized vineyard in all its glory; notes of wild black fruit, thyme, mint, eucalyptus, and bay are lifted and enjoyed with the polished tannin and mouthwatering freshness of this wine. Regarded as one of the best vintages in the last few decades, the 2016 Martha’s Vineyard has been aged to perfection for immediate enjoyment at release and will continue to reward for the next 20+ years.
90 Points, Robert Parker’s Wine Advocate
Xavier Vignon’s brand spanking new CDR 100% is a thing of beauty. It’s already got a blessing from Robert Parker’s Wine Advocate who described this wine as, “Full-bodied, concentrated and supple”. This is a gorgeous and intricate blend that features all of the Southern Rhone appellations. This year, the blend was 40% Grenache, 25% Mourvedre, 15% Syrah, 7% Cinsault, 7% Marselan, 6% Terret Noir. Nobody can do it like the mad scientist, Xavier Vignon.
