Castello di Bossi Girolamo 2022

97 Points, James Suckling – 94 Points, Antonio Galloni, Vinous

Marco Bacci is on a run the likes of which Tuscany hasn’t seen before. He’s man behind Castello di Bossi, Renieri in Montalcino and Terre di Talamo in Morellino di Scansano—three of the best appellations in all of Tuscany under one visionary. Antonio Galloni has praised him countless times, calling his Chianti Classico “consistently amongst the very best.” Last year his Berardo CC Riserva earned 97 points from Suckling. This year, it’s his outrageously good ‘Girolamo’ release that’s earning the big 97-point review.

His 2022 Girolamo is his pure Merlot statement and it is nothing short of extraordinary. James Suckling called it “Pure Merlot as always.” Vinous awarded 94 points calling it “terrific—opulent, polished and impeccably done.” The southern slopes of Castelnuovo Berardenga in Chianti Classico are producing some of the finest examples of Merlot on earth. The quality here for the price is simply unmatched.
