Castello di Bossi Chianti Classico 2020 (375ml)
Castello di Bossi’s 2020 Chianti Classico is shaping up to a be an absolute classic in a great year in Tuscany. Three scores of 91 points or more are attached to this one, with James Suckling leading the way. In his 93-point write-up, Suckling called it “full and savory with lovely fruit and real Chianti Classico character.” That’s right on the money. What I like about it is that it’s beautifully concentrated yet manages to stay fresh and long on the palate, with long, silky tannins and a nice firm acidic backbone. The balance here is on point- with lots of fresh red fruit coming through amongst some bramble and sage.
Original price was: $18.00.$14.95Current price is: $14.95.

93 Points, James Suckling
A layered and juicy red with currant, cedar and some walnut character. It’s full and savory with lovely fruit and real Chianti Classico character in the undertones of mushrooms and bark.
91 Points, Wine Enthusiast
Black cherries, figs, tar and a final herbaceous element that moves from sage to eucalyptus on the nose develop into a palate of more cherries with the essence of orange peel, with an overall buoyancy provided by easygoing tannins and a streak of acidity.
91 Points, Wine Spectator
Broad and fleshy, with a solid structure supporting the cherry, loam, leather, iron and tobacco flavors, this red has power. Reveals dense, dry tannins that flex their muscles on the finish.
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.“
Castello di Bossi’s 2020 Chianti Classico is shaping up to be a classic in a great year in Tuscany. Three scores of 91+ points accompany this great wine that is as silky and focused as it is packed with bright red fruits. Such a food-friendly bottling – there really is so much to love about this wine.
