The Castello di Bossi is located in the heart of Chianti Classico, which for centuries has been one of the most celebrated wine growing areas of Tuscany. Praised for its art and culture, captivating landscapes, and glorious wine and food, their Gran Selezione is a clear winner offering complex aromas of dark cherry, raspberry and sweet violets. Sourced from carefully-selected vineyards, this Tuscan red represents the iconic elegance of a traditional Chianti Classico, while possessing cellar worthy attributes. "Gran Selezione" is a new classification in Chianti Classico that was introduced a few years ago when winemakers wanted a tier higher than Riserva. The quality and aging goes beyond Chianti Classico Riserva, with a minimum of 30 months in oak and three months in bottle before release. The wines must be made from estate grown grapes of a single vineyard, or a selection of the estate's best parcels. In the fourth straight vintage, Castello di Bossi's Gran Selezione is drop-dead gorgeous and a must have for any Italian wine lover!
James Suckling: 94 Points
"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." James Suckling, 94 Points

"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." The Wine Advocate, 94 Points
